James Webb Space Telescope discovers its first exoplanet

The James Webb Space Telescope can add another cosmic accomplishment to its list: The space observatory has been used to confirm the existence of an exoplanet for the first time.
The celestial body, known as LHS 475 b and located outside of our solar system, is almost exactly the same size as Earth. The rocky world is 41 light-years away in the Octans constellation.
Previous data collected by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS, had suggested the planet might exist.
A team of researchers, led by staff astronomer Kevin Stevenson and postdoctoral fellow Jacob Lustig-Yaeger at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, observed the target using Webb. They watched for dips in starlight as the planet passed in front of its host star, called a transit, and watched two transits occur.
“There is no question that the planet is there. Webb’s pristine data validate it,” Lustig-Yaeger said in a statement.

Did they spot the Moties?

We will find "Earth2" soon (if not this one). Depends on if it is in the habitable zone of its star. There are certainly so many other ones out there.

If we found it we'd fuck that one up too.

Probably, eventually, but it would take a while. And that would give us time to learn to do things better. More time is a great opportunity...

You have more faith in humanity than I do.

Either send no Republicans or only Republicans.

So we let the Pierson's Puppeteers have it? They already have the Fleet of Worlds.
