James Webb Space Telescope discovers planets forming in space's most punishing environments

Summary

85% Informative

James Webb Space Telescope peered deep into one of the Milky Way's most radiation-intense star-forming regions.

Previously, astronomers thought these harsh conditions might not be conducive to the formation of planets.

The study was intended as a follow-up to 2023 research that suggested Earth -like planets can form in such harsh environments.

UV light from nearby stars strongly affects the outer regions of the disk, where giant planets are likely to form.

It has little direct impact on the inner regions, which are the source of the light detected by JWST .

The findings suggest planet formation may be more resilient than previously thought, thus expanding range of environments where life-supporting worlds might emerge.
