@badastro I have to say that the implications of that sentence are amazingly amazing. "The coldest" means that JWST has directly imaged multiple exoplanets. A telescope we shot into space, where it assembled itself, has taken actual pictures of planets--tiny little hunks of gas and rock--many lightyears away. DIRECT images. Of PLANETS. How cool is that?
