Observations with JWST’s MIRI detect water vapor, sulfur dioxide, and sand clouds in the atmosphere of WASP-107b. A team of European astronomers, co-led by MPIA researchers, used recent observations made with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to study the atmosphere of the nearby exoplanet WA

An international team of astronomers, co-led by Michiel Min (SRON), has discovered a silicate-based weather system on a fluffy gas planet around the star WASP-107. It is the first time that scientists, including Rens Waters from Radboud University, f

<p>An international team of astronomers has used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to provide the first observation of water and other molecules in the highly irradiated inner, rocky-planet-forming regions of a disk in one of the most extreme environments in our galaxy. These results suggest that the conditions for terrestrial planet formation can occur in a possible broader range of environments than previously thought. </p>

Astronomers have discovered water vapor in the planet-forming region of a star, which could help shed light on where Earth's water came from.

Despite closeness to the star, the water vapours have likely survived due to dust shielding which protects it from the stars ultraviolet radiation. | World News

Astronomers have detected water vapor swirling close to a nearby star — indicating that the planets forming around it might someday be able to support life.

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected water vapors within the inner disk of a nascent planetary system called PDS 70, located 370 light-years away, which could potentially provide the ideal environment for the formation of Earth-like rocky planets. PDS 70 contains two disks of gas and dust, separated by a gap of 5 billion miles, harboring two known gas giant planets, and a third in its formative stages.
