Planets form from disks of gas and dust around young stars, but the gas needed for growth does not last forever. New observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) now offer a new view of how this gas escapes and how the process changes as young planetary systems develop.
Young planetary systems run out of gas. JWST shows on 72 disks how jets and winds transport the building material of future gas giants. The article James Webb shows how young planetary systems run out of gas first appeared on ingenieur.de - Jobbörse und Nachrichtenportal für Ingenieure.
