World's most powerful telescope takes 1st direct image of carbon dioxide outside solar system

The James Webb Space Telescope, the world's most powerful telescope, has captured its first direct images of carbon dioxide gas outside our solar system. It observed it in HR 8799, a multiplanet system 130 light-years away from Earth. The discovery provides strong evidence that giant planets in HR 8799 formed through core accretion, much like Jupiter and Saturn, NASA said.
