INBOX ASTRONOMY Another First: NASA Webb Identifies Frozen Water in Young Star System Release date: Wednesday, May 14, 2025 11:00:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time Researchers found water ice throughout a dusty debris disk circling the Sun-like star HD 181327. We know water in its solid state — ice — exists on moons orbiting Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Telescopes have also spotted frozen water on dwarf planets, comets, and other bits of rock that “hang out” in the Kuiper Bel ...Continue Reading

INBOX ASTRONOMY Webb's Titan Forecast: Partly Cloudy With Occasional Methane Showers Release date: Wednesday, May 14, 2025 8:00:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time Astronomers see evidence of clouds bubbling up over Titan’s northern hemisphere. Saturn’s moon Titan is the only solar system moon with a substantial atmosphere. It also contains a soup of carbon-containing molecules, making it an intriguing target for astrobiological studies despite its frigid temperature of about -290 degre ...Continue Reading
