In a major stride for astronomy, scientists utilizing the Webb Telescope, equipped with advanced infrared technology partly developed by the University of Arizona, have captured the first direct vie
Planets form in disks of dust and gas called protoplanetary disks that whirl around a central protostar during its final assembly.Although several dozens of such disks have been imaged, just two planets have been caught in the act of forming so far.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has taken the astronomical community on a visual odyssey with the unprecedented detailing of a protoplanetary disk's structure, allowing scientists to observe the dynamic dance of gas and dust that serves as the birthing grounds for future planets. While it has not yet captured the elusive 'first image' of…
