In a new paper, NASA-supported scientists have predicted that there is an Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone of the star SPECULOOS-2.
New Webb Image Reveals Dusty Disk Like Never Seen Before
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has imaged the inner workings of a dusty disk surrounding a nearby red dwarf star. These observations represent the first time the previously known disk has been imaged at these infrared wavelengths of light. They also provide clues to the composition of the disk.
