Scientists have found a very big planet near a star that is not too far from Earth. People thought there might be a big planet around this star, but they didn't know it was so big and far from the star. The planet is like Jupiter, a planet in our own Solar System, but it is six times heavier. It is made mostly of gas, just like Jupiter, and it does not have any water or land. The planet takes a very long time, maybe up to 250 years, to go all the way around its star. It is much farther from its star than Earth is from the Sun. The star, called Epsilon Indi A, can be seen in the sky without a telescope if you are in the Southern Hemisphere. It is part of a group of three stars. A team of people from many different countries, led by a scientist in Germany, took pictures of this big planet last year. They used a special space telescope called the James Webb Space Telescope. They covered up the light from the star, so they could see the planet better. It was tricky to do, but they did it! The pictures showed the planet and the star it goes around. They are both very old - much older than our Sun and the planets around it, but we can still see them shining. Even though this planet is interesting, it probably doesn't have life because it is made of gas and does not have any hard ground or oceans. But the scientists think there might be other smaller, rocky planets nearby that we haven't found yet. Finding planets around other stars helps us learn more about them. We have found a lot of these planets since the 1990s. Space telescopes and telescopes on Earth are looking for more, especially planets that might be like Earth. The James Webb Space Telescope, which helped find this big planet, is the biggest and most powerful one we've ever sent to space. It was launched by NASA and the European Space Agency in 2021.
