You must be knowing about planets in our solar system, one of them being the planet on which we live- Earth. But do you know that NASA has confirmed more than 5,000 planets beyond our solar system, so far. Also, with the help of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Telescope the research organisation is trying to learn more about the faraway worlds. Informing about the same, NASA Exoplanets, NASA team looking for planets and life beyond our solar system tweeted, "We've confirmed more than 5,000 planets beyond our solar system – so far. We're living in an age of discovery! With @NASAWebb we're building on science by @NASAHubble and other telescopes to learn more about the actual conditions on these faraway worlds."

It can be known that NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has begun to deliver amazing number of images and data. The targets for observations to come include the atmospheres of some of the strangest exoplanets found so far. "Among the best ways to understand these atmospheres, and even the planets themselves, will be the first-ever direct observations of clouds, however weird and exotic they might be," NASA said in a report.

“On Earth, a lot of these minerals are jewels,” said Tiffany Kataria, an exoplanet scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “A geologist would study them as rocks on Earth.
