NASA reveals first-ever picture of exoplanet from James Webb Telescope

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured the first direct image of an exoplanet - a planet beyond our solar system - in another first for the new space project.

The image was released on Thursday by NASA with four different light filters.

"This is a transformative moment, not only for Webb but also for astronomy generally", said Sasha Hinkley, associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom, who led these observations with a large international collaboration.

Opinion

I would relate this article to the Human ingenuity topic. This news' primary matter is about the first time seeing a planet beyond the solar system, and that could clearly lead us to considerable advances in science.

Firstly, I have read more about this new exoplanet apart from this article, and everyone agrees that the exoplanet is inhabitable because of its characteristics. But this left me with some questions: if we have discovered a planet that is inhabitable, could we discover one that is habitable? If it is habitable, can there be some kind of life? Could we live there? 

Also, this article made me think of a quote from C. Clarke: "Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying". After reading the news and thinking, this quote expresses how I feel.
