The James Webb Space Telescope revealed the role of winds in dispersing gas in protoplanetary disks, affecting gaseous planet formation.
The James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered new details about the importance of winds in planetary formation. Researchers have found that gas in protoplanetary disks around stars is dispersed into surrounding space, which affects the timing and ability of gaseous planets to consume gas from their surroundings. This knowledge aids in understanding the formation of our own solar system and other planetary systems.
