Mikko Tuomi<p>Identifying the formation period of planetary systems, such as our solar system, could be the beginning of the journey to discover the origin of life.</p><p>The key to this is the unique substructures found in protoplanetary disks—the sites of <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/planet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>planet</span></a> formation.</p><p>A protoplanetary disk is composed of low-temperature molecular gas and dust, surrounding a <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/protostar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>protostar</span></a>.</p><p>If a planet exists in the disk, its <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/gravity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gravity</span></a> will gather or eject materials within the disk, forming characteristic substructures such as rings or spirals.

Dr. John Barentine FRAS<p>Another amazing James Webb Space Telescope NIRCam image dropped today. </p><p>This is L1527, a <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/protostar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>protostar</span></a> embedded in a disk seen edge-on. The dust shadows light in the equatorial direction but it allows it to escape from the poles, creating the characteristic hourglass shape. </p><p>📷: NASA/ESA/CSA<br><a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/JWST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JWST</span></a></p><p><a href="https://webbtelescope.org/contents/news-releases/2022/news-2022-055" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">webbtelescope.org/contents/new</span><span class="invisible">s-releases/2022/news-2022-055</span></a></p>
