NASA’s Webb imaged a possible planet with a mass similar to Saturn orbiting the star TWA 7. Light from the star has been subtracted from this image to reveal the candidate planet, shown in data from Webb’s MIRI (orange, upper right). The star’s location is indicated with a circle with a star symbol. Its debris disk (blue) was imaged by ESO’s Very Large Telescope.
