A distant gas giant the size of 10 Jupiter planets is now the first planet outside Earth s solar system to be mapped in three dimension, a team of astronomers says. Using data from NASA s James Webb Space Telescope, a group of international researchers were able to piece together a 3D map of an exoplanet known as WASP-18 b. The breakthrough creation marks a major first in planetary science, as a three-dimensional model of a planet orbiting another star beyond our sun had never before existed, the team claimed in a press release. What s more, the researchers are hoping their technique can be used to better observe many others of the more than 6,000 exoplanets so far discovered in the cosmos....
