Canadian astronomers have taken an extraordinary step in understanding how planets are born, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). JWST was used to study PDS 70, a young star with two growing planets in its orbit. This remarkable system, located 370 light-years away, gives scientists a rare chance to see how planets form and evolve during their earliest stages of development.
