The newly discovered third planet orbiting Beta Pictoris, Beta Pictoris d, appears in reconstructed imagery from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph). NIRSpec’s Integral Field Unit (IFU) was used to map chemical contents of the Beta Pictoris system. This allowed researchers to confirm the bright point of light, as seen in the image, was actually a planet by detecting its chemical composition.
Modeling suggests its orbit is comparable to the region occupied by Neptune in our own solar system.

Image Description: An image of the Beta Pictoris system, with two exoplanets shown. The view is black. At the center of the image, there is a white star symbol, which represents light blocked from the host star. Immediately to the left of the star symbol, there is a bright orange-whitish smudge, labeled b. To the right of the star symbol, further away, is a blurry orange smudge labeled d. There is a blue dashed circle around the entire system, labeled “size of Neptune’s orbit.”

Researchers used the NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) Integral Field Unit on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to map chemical contents of the Beta Pictoris system. As a result, they discovered a third planet, Beta Pictoris d, orbiting the young star.
Instead of identifying the planet as a bright point of light, as seen in the reconstructed image, researchers searched the spectroscopic data for the molecular signatures expected from a giant planet atmosphere, allowing the object to stand out from the surrounding debris disk.
The extracted NIRSpec and MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) spectra of Beta Pictoris d display a distinctive series of carbon monoxide (CO) absorption lines. This molecular “fingerprint” identified the object as a giant planet, while measurements of the Doppler shift of the spectral lines provided the planet’s radial velocity, confirming it is gravitationally bound to the Beta Pictoris system.

Image Description: Infographic titled “Gas Giant Exoplanet Beta Pictoris d; Atmospheric Composition.” The image at the left shows two exoplanets of the Beta Pictoris system. At the center, there is a white star symbol, which represents light blocked from the host star. Immediately to the left of the star symbol, there is a bright orange-whitesh smudge, labeled b. To the right of the star symbol is a blurry orange smudge labeled d. There is a white circle around this smudge with lines drawn to the spectrum at the right. The x-axis is labeled “Wavelength of Light” and extends from 4.2 to 5.2 microns. The y-axis is labeled “Brightness.” An up arrow is labeled “brighter,” a down arrow “dimmer.” There are two jagged horizontal lines across the graph. One is white, then other is maroon (the former labeled “Webb data”, the latter labeled “Best fit model” in the bottom left corner). A blue vertical column spanning from about 4.3 microns to 5 microns is labeled Carbon Monoxide, CO.

This image comprises data gathered by Mars Express’s High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on 5 October 2025 (orbit 27461). It was created using data from the nadir channel, the field of view aligned perpendicular to the surface of Mars, and the colour channels of the HRSC. North is to the right. The ground resolution of the original image is approximately 17 m/pixel and the image is centred at about 48°S/19°E.

En misschien wel de grootste misdaad tegen de esthetische zeden sinds De Volkskrant "De oorlog tegen woke is opperdepop, dus is die vervangen door een oorlog tegen feminisme" afdrukte. Afijn, Twitter-account Mieke Lieke dus. """RECHTSE FILOSOFIE""" door een vrouw (m) wier afbeeldingen geheel en volledig door AI gegenereerd zijn. En zelfs gods sterkste soldaten (Paul Cliteur) vielen ervoor.
Maar dit weekend was er het bovenstaande grote nieuws. Ze (m) opende een OnlyFans light, want ze (m) "wil nog normale gesprekken op verjaardagen kunnen hebben. Dus het is Patreon geworden." Maar, wel een met een heel ondeugende knipoog mannen! ! ! Voor 9,95 per maand "Toegang tot lezingen en teksten" en voor 29,95 per maand "Toegang tot erotische beelden". Niet alleen de foto's, maar ook de teksten zijn overigens voornamelijk AI-werk, zo valt onderaan de Patreon-beschrijving te lezen: "De teksten, afbeeldingen en andere content op dit profiel zijn gegenereerd met behulp van kunstmatige intelligentie."
Dat maakt de boomers natuurlijk niet uit, want het stroomt binnen.
Maar goed, de sterke man achter de vrouw dan. Als je op Twitter zoekt op "@thomasbakker77", dan kom je dus uit bij tweets van Mieke Lieke. En dat betekent dat account @thomasbakker77 na 28 mei door de beheerder veranderd is in @miekelieke. Natuurlijk weten we niet of 'Thomas Bakker' de echte naam van de beheerder is, en ook niet of '77' staat voor geboortejaar 1977, waardoor hij nu 48 of 49 jaar oud zou zijn. Maar zeer goed mogelijk is het allemaal wel.
