.@NASAWebb detected water vapor around a distant star in a region where rocky planets could be forming. This steamy environment raises the question: Where did the water come from? Pore over the details: go.nasa.gov/3KaVlbo #NASA
New measurements by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) have detected water vapor in the system’s inner disk, at distances of less than 100 million miles (160 million kilometers) from the star – the region where rocky, …
It's also possible that water vapour may have evaporated from a planet that once resembled earth but has dried to a rocky desert, like Mars. We may be witnessing the aftermath of catastrophic climate change in that region.
