How did planetary systems, such as the solar system, come to be? It is still a mystery to scientists. Try to find a thorough answer. Recently, a team of international astronomers Together with astronomers from the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), a study of the nurturing region of infant stars in the Orion Nebula has been revealed. It is one of the brightest nebulae in the sky. It is 1,350 light years away.

Astronomers revealed that It used the James Webb Space Telescope and the ALMA giant radio telescope. Observing the disk of dust and gas that formed the planet d203-506 revealed the important role of massive stars. in the formation of newly formed planetary systems The team built theoretical models to examine the effects of ultraviolet radiation. They found that d203-506 is losing mass at a high rate. This is due to exposure to heat driven by ultraviolet rays.

The team also stated that The rate of mass loss from d203-506 indicates that the gas could be removed from the gas-dust disk within 1 million years, hampering the ability of gas giant planets that will form within planetary systems The results were very surprising. Because young stars are losing mass at an alarming rate. This indicates that there is no planet similar to Jupiter. that we often call gas giant planets can form in this star system.
