Astronomers have captured what appears to be a snapshot of a massive collision of giant asteroids in Beta Pictoris, a neighboring star system known for its early age and tumultuous planet-forming activity.

New images from the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed a bizarre string of dust in the shape of a cats tail around the nearby juvenile star Beta Pictoris.

The infrared space telescope spotted a strange feature in the dusty disk around Beta Pictoris, possibly from a hundred-year-old collision.

The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a new dusty feature at the Beta Pictoris star system, curled like a cat's tail, hinting at a recent cosmic collision.

The James Webb Space Telescope has caught the young planetary system Beta Pictoris by the tail seeing a new structure of dust that resembles the lower half of a cat.

Astronomers discovered a baffling cat's tail in the planetary system Beta Pictoris, and it seems to be hotter than the rest of the system.
