NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Takes First Infrared Image of Three Asteroid Belts Outside Solar System (See Pics)

New James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) images show Fomalhaut, a star approximately 25 light-years from Earth, with an asteroid belt that unseen planets may gravitationally carve. The images revealed three belts, including two never-before-seen inner belts, around the star of Fomalhaut. NASA Scientists Say 4 of Uranus’ Large Moons Likely Hold Water Under Their Icy Crusts.

Asteroid Belts:

What carved these belts? Most likely, the gravitational forces of planets we can’t see just yet. In our solar system, the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is shaped by the gravity of Jupiter, while the Kuiper belt is shaped by that of Neptune.
