Webb telescope discovers multiple celestial debris belts and hidden planets beyond our Solar System.
The James Webb Space Telescope has observed three concentric dusty rings of debris orbiting Fomalhaut, one of the brightest stars in our night sky located 25 light years from Earth. These three belts appear to be populated by objects called planetesimals, some of which are thought to join together early in a star system's history to form planets while others remain as debris like asteroids and comets. The observations offer insight into planetary beginnings and provide the fullest view to date of such structures outside our solar system.
