Most planets the Webb telescope sees are young and burning hot. 14 Herculis c is the opposite.
This huge world, about 7 times heavier than Jupiter and about 60 light-years away, was photographed directly by Webb. Its temperature is around -3°C — the coldest exoplanet ever photographed, as reported from the Webb team's direct image.
Cold and faint, it was incredibly hard to find. Imagine standing there: darkness, ice, and a distant star in a black sky.
