NASA Webb telescope captures asteroid belt surrounding nearby star

NASA is sharing some new images from the first asteroid belt discovered outside of our own solar system. What they found surprised them. This is all centered around a young star that we call Femalaute. Femalaute is surrounded by a dusty disk that extends 14 billion miles from the star. That's 150 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun. When astronomers pointed the web telescope at that ring and they found a system that's much more complex than our own asteroid belt or even the icy, dusty cloud beyond Neptune. So there are a series of rings there.

And that suggests to astronomers that there are planets orbiting Femalaute and the gravity from those planets is shaping the rings. Researchers believe that the whole dusty area is actually a space where planets are forming. Wow. Yeah, tell me about it.
