JWST captures detailed images of a protoplanetary disk, offering new insights into planet formation.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured detailed images of HH 30, a protoplanetary disk surrounding a newborn star. The images reveal structures like dust grains, jets, and a conical outflow, providing insights into the early stages of planet formation. This observation complements data from other telescopes and offers a unique view of how dust and materials behave around young stars.
