James Webb Space Telescope , a collaboration of NASA and its European and Canadian counterparts, is revealing insights into how planet formation was possible around the primitive stars of the early universe.

The Webb team set out to study early planetary disks by homing in on the Small Magellanic Cloud , a dwarf galaxy near the Milky Way.

Previous thinking was that primitive stars would have lost their lightweight disks pretty quickly, after just two or three million years .
