Image: An image shows the NGC 6357 star-forming region, featuring a young star known as XUE 10. Data from the JWST/MIRI instrument identifies a disk forming planets, notable for its distinct lack of water but an abundance of carbon dioxide — including four chemical variations of the molecule. This discovery sheds light on the chemical setting in which new planets begin to form. Photo credit: Stockholm University and María Claudia Ramírez-Tannus, Max Planck Institute for Astronomy. Credit:
