Earth may have formed much more rapidly than previously believed after born as tiny millimeter-sized pebbles that accumulated over a period of just a few million years. The new theory also implies that rather than water being delivered to Earth by icy comets, this vital ingredient for life is present on our planet due to our young planet thirstily sucking up water from its space environment. The theory could have important implications for the search for life outside the solar system, indicating that watery and habitable planets around other stars may be more common than currently theorized. The new theory put forward by the team suggests that around 4.5 billion years ago when the sun was an infant star surrounded by a disk of gas and dust, known as a proto-planetary disk, tiny particles of dust would be quickly sucked up by forming planets once they reached a certain size. In the case of the infant Earth, this "vacuuming up" of disk material ensured our planet was supplied with water.

(or at least- the moment I’VE been waiting for since jwst imaged jupiter)
the James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam has imaged Saturn for the first time, and it’s SO COOL!!
above are the two processed images, the lower having the visible moons and rings labeled, but there’s also some unprocessed images from jwst feed, which i think still look super cool, and just show what a world of a difference processing makes.
i think these images are SO cool, and i can’t wait to print them out to hang on my walls :)
you really don't know the effect you have on people. i might just reply your last text with emojis since that's how i think it's supposed to be but it made my whole day, my whole week, and maybe i feel like 2023 is complete. love you
Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.

Saturn
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope took its first near-infrared look at Saturn on June 25. The planet appears dark at this wavelength, as methane gas in its atmosphere absorbs sunlight — but its icy rings stay bright!
Of course Saturn brought its ring light 🪐
They ain’t lie 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
I thought email was romantic. I know now that my 15 year old self sounded like a boomer instead of a young gal
