NASA’s Webb telescope seemingly confirms controversial theory on planet formation

Salon

Back when the stars in our universe were initially being formed, they created rotating disks of dust and gas known as protoplanetary disks. Yet recent images captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope seem to contradict that notion by showing protoplanetary disks in a dwarf galaxy adjacent to our own Milky Way, the Small Magellanic Cloud. Focusing on a cluster …

James Webb Telescope confirms what Hubble revealed about the birth of planets

India Today

Nasa’s James Webb Space Telescope has resolved a long-standing astronomical mystery by confirming findings from the Hubble Space Telescope regarding planet formation around ancient stars. To investigate, researchers utilised Webb to study the Small Magellanic Cloud, a nearby dwarf galaxy with similar elemental scarcity to the early universe. They focused on NGC 346, a massive star-forming cluster where Hubble had …
