JWST reveals a race against time for forming planets
📍 Where it landed
The JWST observations showed that young solar systems rapidly lose the gas needed to build planets, creating a narrow window in which planets must form before the protoplanetary disk dissipates. Studies of dozens of “baby” systems highlighted this limited formation period, and University of Arizona researchers emphasized the urgency of the process while looking forward to the upcoming Roman Space Telescope launch.
Coverage of the findings tapered off without further reported developments.
