Astronomers may have caught a still-forming planet in action, carving out an intricate pattern in the gas and dust that ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, observed the very beginning of planet formation around a star beyond our Solar System.

HH 30 is a luminous region surrounding a newborn star, or protostar. The James Webb Space Telescope helped reveals unprecedented details of it.

The new images show the planetary-forming disks, with the inner rims appearing like fluorescent lava lamps floating in space. The disks form in unison with their host stars, and the grains of dust ...

James Webb Space Telescope Snaps Its First Image of a Protoplanetary Disk Astronomers hoped the telescope would be able to see the seeds of exoplanets, but even Webb isn't powerful enough.

Across the center is a proto-planetary disc, which is dense gas and dust that has the potential to form a planet, roughly the size of the solar system. The star and cloud is only about 100,000 ...
