NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered TOI-199b, a Saturn-sized planet with Earth-like temperatures and a methane-rich atmosphere located 330 light-years away. This rare find is one of the first temperate gas giants to be studied in detail, suggesting that planets with conditions suitable for further scientific study may be more abundant in our galaxy than previously believed.
