An article published in the journal “Nature” reports the discovery of water in the very young PDS 70 system. A team of researchers from the MINDS collaboration led by Giulia Perotti of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) in Heidelberg, Germany, used the James Webb Space Telescope to detect the presence of water in the inner region of the protoplanetary disk surrounding the star PDS 70. Two planets were already identified in that disk and the detection of a debris cloud in a possible Trojan configuration was recently announced but there may also be rocky planets in formation on which water could play an important role in terms of habitability potential.
