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

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 ...

For decades it was thought that water was prevalent in the outer reaches of the Solar System early in its history, with ...

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, ...

The debris disk, also like our Kuiper Belt, is made up of remnants of a larger disk that once encircled the star — called HD 181327 — and probably gave birth to planets. To be clear, however, no ...
