“New Discoveries by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope: Complex Asteroid Belt System Revealed Around Fomalhaut Star”

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured this image of the dusty debris disk surrounding the young star Fomalhaut using its mid-infrared instruments. The image reveals three overlapping belts that extend 14 billion miles (23 billion km) from the star. The inner belt was revealed by Webb for the first time. (Credit image: NASA, ESA, CSA, A.

New observations by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal that the first asteroid belt discovered outside the solar system is more complex than previously thought.

Use astronomers JWST To check dusty ring system around whale moutha young and hot star located about 25 light years from Earth and visible to the naked eye in the constellation Piscis Austrinu, Southern Fish.
