Astronomers see the birth of a new solar system for the first time
Astronomers caught a star system at the moment when solid grains began to form planets. This snapshot reveals how planets first start to form, just as Earth once did.

In a groundbreaking observation, astronomers have detected the earliest signs of planet formation around a star very much like our sun.
The observations, published in the science journal Nature, show a glowing, lightning bug-like system against the dark void — a cosmic nursery where planets may one
In a cosmic first, scientists watched planet-forming materials begin to solidify around a newborn star, offering a peek into what our Solar System may have looked like at birth. It''s a
Using Nasa''s James Webb Telescope and ALMA in Chile, scientists captured the earliest stage of rocky planet formation — offering
This finding marks the first time a planetary system has been identified at such an early stage in its formation and opens a window to the past of our own Solar System.
