Scientists have detected water in a distant star system that is still taking shape. The James Webb Space Telescope has picked up hints of water ice in the debris disk that orbits a star named HD ...

Astronomers from Johns Hopkins University detected water ice in the outer disk of HD 181327, a young, Sun-like star about 155 ...

In a first-ever discovery, scientists have detected water ice surrounding a young star that closely resembles our Sun. This ...

Astronomers spotted water around a young, sun-like star for the first time ever, and it could help us understand solar system formation.

For decades it was thought that water was prevalent in the outer reaches of the Solar System early in its history, with ...

NASA says with the help of data from the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have confirmed the presence of water crystals around a Sun-like star, some 155 light-years away from Earth. The star, ...

Xie's team reports that the disk reflectance spectrum of HD 181327 at 90–105 AU from it has a broad bowl-shaped dip between 2.7 and 3.4 µm. This is consistent with the 3 µm feature of water ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have identified frozen water particles in the distant planetary system of HD 181327, situated roughly 155 light-years from Earth. The detection ...

The new discovery centers on a star called HD 181327, located about 155 light-years away, in the constellation Telescopium. At just 23 million years old, HD 181327 is a cosmic infant compared with ...

The find comes from the young star HD 181327, nestled in the constellation Pictor. Surrounding it is a disk of cosmic debris — a dusty belt much like our own Kuiper Belt, home to icy objects beyond ...

At long last, particles of water–ice have been discovered in the frozen Kuiper Belt of another star. The discovery, made by the James Webb Space Telescope, is a major step forward in filling in gaps ...
