Scientists have gotten a never-before-seen look at an area around a large exoplanet 625 light-years away where moons like the ...

We already know a decent amount about how planets form, but moon formation is another process entirely, and one we're not as familiar with. Scientists think they understand how the most important moon ...

The JWST has studied the chemical composition of a moon-forming disk circling a giant planet 625 light-years away.

The striking thing about this is that repeating the procedure on the star turned up no evidence of carbon-based chemicals, ...

Webb Telescope is investigating the formation of moons around a massive planet. Astronomers are using the data to study the chemical composition of a disc that is believed to be the basis for the ...

Researchers detect 7 complex molecules, including acetylene and benzene, marking 1st chemical snapshot of moon-forming ...

Now, thanks to NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have made the first direct measurements of one such disk around ...
