Our first look at an asteroid belt beyond our solar system, revealed in this @NASAWebb image of Fomalhaut, shows an outer ring extending out 14 billion miles (23 billion km). Two other rings are nestled within. The structure indicates planets at play. http://go.nasa.gov/42dH7h6 #NASAExoplanets
Astronomers used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to image the warm dust around a nearby young star, Fomalhaut, in order to study the first asteroid belt ever seen outside of our solar system in infrared light.
