JWST Discovers Planet Formation in the Conditions of the Early
Universe!


Journey with the James Webb Space Telescope to the star cluster
NGC 346, a vibrant region of star birth and potential planet
formation. This image offers a glimpse into the early universe,
where stars formed under conditions very different from our own
Milky Way.


 


See how JWST's infrared vision reveals protoplanetary disks -
swirling clouds of gas and dust around young stars - defying
previous models of planet formation. Witness the evidence that
planets can form in environments with fewer heavy elements than
previously thought, expanding our understanding of how planetary
systems like our own come to be.


 


This stunning image, a mosaic of data collected by JWST's NIRCam
instrument, represents a breakthrough in our understanding of the
cosmos. Discover the potential for new worlds and the endless
possibilities that await as we continue to explore the universe.
