JWST Spots Planet Formation in Space's Most Extreme Environments NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected planets forming in environments once thought too extreme for planet assembly. These observations expand known planetary nurseries beyond traditional protoplanetary disks, widening the search for habitable worlds and prompting revisions to models of exoplanet formation.

JWST reveals dwarf galaxies drove universe’s exit from Dark Ages New observations from JWST detect a population of faint dwarf galaxies at high redshift whose intense star formation and UV output could have driven hydrogen reionization, lifting the universe out of its Dark Ages. These small galaxies punch well above their weight in shaping early cosmic evolution.
