Scientists have detected water in a distant star system that is still taking shape. The James Webb Space Telescope has picked up hints of water ice in the debris disk that orbits a star named HD ...

In a first-ever discovery, scientists have detected water ice surrounding a young star that closely resembles our Sun. This ...

Astronomers spotted water around a young, sun-like star for the first time ever, and it could help us understand solar system formation.

This finding has opened up new avenues for understanding the early universe and the origins of water on our planet ...

NASA says with the help of data from the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have confirmed the presence of water crystals around a Sun-like star, some 155 light-years away from Earth. The star, ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers from Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and elsewhere have detected water ice in a debris disk around HD 181327—a young star located within 160 ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have identified frozen water particles in the distant planetary system of HD 181327, situated roughly 155 light-years from Earth. The detection ...

The new discovery centers on a star called HD 181327, located about 155 light-years away, in the constellation Telescopium. At just 23 million years old, HD 181327 is a cosmic infant compared with ...

The find comes from the young star HD 181327, nestled in the constellation Pictor. Surrounding it is a disk of cosmic debris — a dusty belt much like our own Kuiper Belt, home to icy objects beyond ...

At long last, particles of water–ice have been discovered in the frozen Kuiper Belt of another star. The discovery, made by the James Webb Space Telescope, is a major step forward in filling in gaps ...
