Astronomers have recently discovered what could be the first evidence that the Webb Telescope, scheduled to launch in 2023, will be able to detect planet formation in other galaxies. By using a combination of infrared and visible light observations, researchers were able to observe the disk of dust and gas around a faraway star, which could be a sign of new planets forming. This research suggests that the Webb Telescope could be the first to detect planet formation in another galaxy, a feat that was previously thought impossible. If proven true, this could be a major breakthrough in our understanding of planetary system formation in other galaxies.
