The newly discovered Planet X is unlike anything we’ve seen before. JWST observations suggest it’s a giant water world, potentially several times the size of Earth, with oceans covering most of its surface.
Its proximity to our solar system raises exciting possibilities — could this planet host conditions suitable for life? Or is it a natural wonder unlike anything in our planetary neighborhood?
Scientists are rushing to study its atmosphere, orbit, and composition, as the discovery could reshape our understanding of nearby exoplanets and the diversity of worlds in our galaxy. 🚀
🌊 James Webb Space Telescope Finds “Giant Water Planet X” Near Earth?
1. The Claim
Some headlines say JWST detected a huge water world “close to Earth.”
The term “Planet X” is often used in media to sound mysterious, but in astronomy it usually just means an undiscovered or distant planet.
2. What JWST Actually Observed
JWST can detect exoplanets around nearby stars, even hundreds of light-years away.
The telescope measures infrared emissions to determine:
Planet size
Temperature
Atmospheric composition
A “water-rich” world likely refers to a planet with a thick atmosphere containing water vapor or possibly oceans, not literally a floating water planet in our solar system.
