Canadian astronomers have taken an extraordinary step in understanding how planets are born, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) JWST was used to study PDS 70 , a young star with two growing planets in its orbit.

The findings offer a fresh perspective on how planets grow over time, competing with their host stars for material.

JWST observations reveal extra light that could not be fully explained by models.

Extra light hints at the presence of warm material surrounding the planets.

This new evidence strengthens the case for circumplanetary disks, which are believed to play a critical role in the formation of systems of moons and the growth of planets.
