Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers from Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and elsewhere have detected water ice in a debris disk around HD 181327—a young star located within ...

NIRSpec detected the signature water in HD 181327's spectrum, principally at a wavelength of 3 microns (millionths of a meter), with a peak coming at 3.1 microns.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has made the first-ever and long-anticipated detection of ice outside of our own solar system. The frozen water was found within a debris disk circling HD 181327 ...

The marked asymmetry of the debris disk around the star HD 181327 (shown here in a Hubble image) suggests it may have formed as a result of the collision of two small bodies. Disk Detective aims ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope detected water ice in the debris disk of HD 181327. The star HD 181327, located 155 light-years away, is only 23 million years old.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed that crystalline water ice exists in the debris disk surrounding HD 181327, a young star that resembles the sun.

Astronomers confirmed water ice in a young star system using JWST. Crystalline water ice was found in the debris disk of star HD 181327. The star is 23 million years old and located 155 light ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has achieved a groundbreaking feat by definitively detecting crystalline ice water in the young star system HD 181327, located 155 light-years away.
