"JWST Discovers Protoplanetary Disks in Nearby Star Cluster"

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has conducted a detailed study of protoplanetary disks around stars in the Lobster Nebula, revealing the presence of water and other molecules in the inner regions where terrestrial planets could form. The findings suggest that planet formation is possible even in high-mass star forming regions and that dust grain growth has started, potentially leading to the formation of planets in systems as young as 0.5 million years old.
