NASA's Space Telescope Takes First-Ever Direct Image Of Distant World

NASA astronomers have taken the first-ever direct Image of the distant world using James Webb Space Telescope. The huge telescope captured the direct image of a planet outside the solar system. Known as exoplanet, it is an unhabitable gas giant which has no rocky surface.
