James Webb Telescope Captures Massive Asteroid Collision

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured evidence of a massive collision between two giant asteroids in the Beta Pictoris star system, located 63 light years from Earth. The collision, which produced a vast amount of dust, was initially observed by the Spitzer Space Telescope in 2004-2005. The recent disappearance of this dust suggests a cataclysmic event, providing insights into the early stages of planetary formation and the commonality of such processes in star systems.
