Webb Telescope finds moon-forming disk with carbon molecules around young planet CT Cha b.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has detected a moon-forming disk around the young planet CT Cha b, identifying seven carbon-rich molecules like acetylene and benzene within it.
The discovery, made using Webb’s MIRI instrument, reveals a stark contrast with the surrounding disk, which contains water but little carbon, suggesting rapid chemical differentiation in less than 2 million years.
This supports the theory that moons form in such disks, offering new insights into planetary system development.
