But how? This was puzzling. "With Webb, we have a really strong confirmation of what we saw with Hubble, and we must rethink how we model planet formation and early evolution in the young universe ...

Webb confirms disks lasted longer in early universe conditions Planet formation found possible in low-metal environments Findings reshape theories on planet-forming disk lifespans ...

Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to study planet formation. They observed the star cluster NGC 346. They found long-lasting planet-forming disks. These disks exist even with few ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has detected an exoplanet, K2-18 b, which is larger than Earth and located in a habitable zone. The planet's atmosphere contains methane, carbon dioxide ...

Ten small, yellow circles overlaid on the image indicate the positions of the 10 stars surveyed in this study. /NASA NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has found planet-forming disks lived longer in ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope just solved a conundrum by proving a controversial finding made with the agency’s Hubble Space Telescope more than 20 years ago. In 2003, Hubble provided evidence of ...

the disks (of planet-building material) around stars have a short lifetime, so short in fact that planets cannot grow big," said Elena Sabbi, one of the Webb researchers based at the National ...

But a new study using observations by the infrared-sensing James Webb Space Telescope, a collaboration of NASA and its European and Canadian counterparts, is revealing insights into how planet ...

The Webb telescope’s observations have provided crucial evidence that planet-forming disks in the early universe existed longer than previously thought—something that challenges current models of ...

"With Webb, we have a really strong confirmation of what we saw with Hubble, and we must rethink how we model planet formation and early evolution in the young universe," said study leader Guido ...

They found that not only do some stars there have planet-forming disks, but that those disks are longer-lived than those seen around young stars in our Milky Way galaxy. “With Webb, we have a ...
