NASA’s Webb Finds Planet-Forming Disks Lived Longer in Early Universe

TL;DR


Summary:
- NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered that planet-forming disks around young stars in the early universe lived longer than those observed in the present-day universe.
- The study analyzed data from 12 distant galaxies, revealing that planet-forming disks around young stars were more abundant and longer-lived in the early universe, compared to their modern counterparts.
- This suggests that the conditions for planet formation were more favorable in the early universe, providing insights into the evolution of planetary systems over cosmic time.
