TWA 7b, discovered in the debris rings is ten times lighter than any exoplanet — the lowest mass planet ever directly imaged beyond the solar system (around 100 times that of Earth or 0.3 times the mass of Jupiter) and the first exoplanet discovered by the JWST, surrounded by a very young low-mass star CE Antilae, aka TWA 7, located around 111 light-years from Earth, estimated to be around just a few million years old.
