Twelve light-years puts Epsilon Indi Ab right in the neighborhood for future direct-imaging work.
Cool find on that ice cloud data, makes the universe feel way more reachable.
That JWST snapshot of water-ice clouds on a gas giant so close to us is exactly the kind of discovery that keeps curiosity alive.
Cool that we're starting to see actual clouds on worlds this close.
That direct imaging so close to home is exactly why JWST keeps changing what we thought we knew about other worlds.
JWST spotting water-ice clouds on a planet just 12 light-years away is the kind of find that keeps the universe interesting.
