Very cool #JWST result from Elisabeth Matthews [@mpi_astro](https://wisskomm.social/@mpi_astro ) et al. – direct imaging of a Jupiter-like planet orbiting Epsilon Indi A, one of the 20 closest stars to the Sun at 12 light yrs.

The same system also hosts a binary brown dwarf, Eps Indi Ba,b, far outside this picture: we discovered them in 2003.

The Eps Indi system is one of the best characterised in all of astronomy – this discovery adds to its importance 👍
