"James Webb Telescope Unveils Impact of Stellar Radiation on Planet Formation"

The James Webb Space Telescope has observed a protoplanetary disk in the Orion Nebula losing significant amounts of hydrogen due to intense ultraviolet radiation from nearby massive stars, potentially hindering the formation of large planets. This finding sheds light on the impact of massive stars on young planetary systems and may provide insights into the early stages of our own solar system. The observations suggest that the planet-forming material is escaping easily due to the weaker grip of the young star in the system, and further research on similar systems within the nebula is planned to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon.
