James Webb telescope captured images of planet-forming disks around ancient stars.

The images challenge theoretical models of how planets can form.

The new images were captured from the “Small Magellanic Cloud ” a neighboring dwarf galaxy to our home, the Milky Way.

The Webb telescope was able to fill in those details, suggesting disks in our neighboring galaxies have a much longer period of time to collect the dust and gas that forms the basis of a new planet.
