A team of astronomers led by University of Arizona researchers has used NASA 's James Webb Space Telescope to obtain some of the most detailed insights into the forces that shape protoplanetary disks.

The team was able to trace so-called disk winds in unprecedented detail.

These winds are streams of gas blowing from the planet-forming disk out into space.

"We believe they could be common, but with four objects, it's a bit difficult to say," Pascucci said.

Funding for this work was provided by NASA and the European Research Council ..
