JWST captures images of the first asteroid belts seen beyond the Solar System
on Monday, a group of scientists made up primarily of astronomers from the University of Arizona and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory say the Fomalhaut system isSince 1983, astronomers have known the 440 million-year-old Fomalhaut is surrounded by dust and debris, but what they didn’t expect to find was three different debris fields surrounding the star. One of those, the closest to Fomalhaut, is similar to our solar system’s asteroid belt but far more expansive than expected.
“The belts around Fomalhaut are kind of a mystery novel: Where are the planets?” said George Rieke, one of the astronomers involved in the study."I think it's not a very big leap to say there's probably a really interesting planetary system around the star.”Great deals on consumer electronics delivered straight to your inbox, curated by Engadget’s editorial team.
