JWST observes planetary building blocks in Butterfly Nebula



Washington DC (UPI) Aug 28, 2025
The James Webb Space Telescope has helped researchers learn new information about how the Earth may have been formed as it gives a deeper look into the Butterfly Nebula. The telescope saw the creation of tiny planetary building blocks around a dead star, as it saw cosmic dust particles that create planets around young stars forming for the first time. "For years, scientists have debated how cosmic dust forms in space. But now, with the help of the powerful James Webb Space Telescope, we ... read more
