"Stellar Radiation's Impact on Planetary Formation Uncovered by James Webb Telescope"
TL;DR Summary
Scientists studying the Orion Nebula with the James Webb Space Telescope have found that massive stars play a crucial role in shaping planetary systems by exposing nascent planets to intense ultraviolet radiation, which can either aid or hinder their formation depending on the star's mass. This discovery sheds new light on the formation of planetary systems and will be featured in the journal Science.
