Surprisingly, there were astronomers who used the space telescope James Webb explore the first asteroid belt observed outside our solar system.

Webb focused on the hot dust surrounding Fomalhaut, a bright young star located 25 light-years from Earth in the constellation of the Southern Pisces. A team of astronomers from the University of Arizona and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory studying the new images and Fomalhaut data recorded by James Webb report in a publication in Nature that the system is much more complex than we thought. Today.

The dust disk around Fomalhaut was first detected in 1983 by NASA’s infrared astronomy satellite. It has now been established that two more zones of asteroids or “space debris” have formed here, as experts characterize the contents of these areas.

The vast dust belts of Fomalhaut were probably created by debris left over from the collisions of larger bodies such as asteroids and comets.

The dust then formed into belts under the gravitational influence of invisible planets, which researchers believe orbit the star, just as Jupiter and Neptune form our asteroid belt and the inner edge of the Kuiper belt.
