The James Webb Space Telescope identified an exoplanet 40 light years from Earth. SyFy shares some of the research published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
The planet, known as VHS 1256 b, orbits a binary star system at a distance roughly four times that of the Sun to Pluto. Its incredible distance and binary orbital setup means that a day lasts roughly 22 hours, but a year lasts 10 millennia. Those qualities make VHS 1256 b interesting, but they also make it a little easier to study.
