Exoplanets that form beyond their solar system's 'soot line' can have far more carbon than Earth. What does that mean for life?

New research indicates that UV rays, not cosmic or X-rays, drive the chemistry involved in late-stage planet development.

The chemistry of planet formation has fascinated researchers for decades because the chemical reservoir in protoplanetary discs—the dust and gas from which planets form—directly impacts planet composition and potential for life.

The Orion Nebula, a star nursery 1,350 light-years away from Earth, is clearly visible in new images.

WASHINGTON, United States - The wall of dense gas and dust resembles a massive winged creature, its glowing maw lit by a bright star as it soars through cosmic filaments. This handout photo provided by NASA on September 12, 2022 shows the inner region of the Orion Nebula as seen by the James Webb S

James Webb Space Telescope has released a stunning photo of another spectacle of the universe. Astronomers are awestruck after seeing the first images of the Orion Nebula that were released by an international research team on Monday (September 12).  The Orion Nebula is approximately 1,344 light years away from earth. It is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae and is visible to the naked eye in t...

A new image of the Orion Nebula from the James Webb Space Telescope reveals parts of the nebula that were undetectable in visible light.
