The James Webb Space Telescope has provided scientists with their clearest picture yet of how moons might form around distant worlds. By using its remarkable mid-infrared spectrograph, the observatory identified that a cocktail of carbon-bearing molecules in a disk of gas and dust circling CT Cha b, a body that is 17 times heavier than Jupiter. Located 625 light-years away in the constellation Chamaeleon, CT Cha b orbits a young star two million years old. Researchers trust that this chemical-rich disk can contain the notable elements for building moons. Webb Unveils Carbon Chemistry in Distant Moon-Building Disk Around CT Cha b As per The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the Webb telescope mapped out acetylene, benzene, carbon dioxide, ethane, hydrogen cyanide, and more. These elements are expected to accelerate the growth of moons. It is much likely to those orbiting Jupiter and Saturn in our own solar system. Lead researcher Sierra Grant mentioned the findings needed painstaking evalu...
