This image offers a glimpse into the early universe, where stars formed under conditions very different from our own Milky Way.</p> <p> </p> <p>See how JWST's infrared vision reveals protoplanetary disks - swirling clouds of gas and dust around young stars - defying previous models of planet formation. Witness the evidence that planets can form in environments with fewer heavy elements than previously thought, expanding our understanding of how planetary systems like our own come to be.</p> <p> </p> <p>This stunning image, a mosaic of data collected by JWST's NIRCam instrume...
