JWST May Have Finally Confirmed How Planets Take Shape

A crucial piece of evidence in support of a long-standing hypothesis on planet formation has been observed by the James Webb Space Telescope

A crucial piece of evidence in support of a long-standing hypothesis on planet formation has been observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), meaning astronomers are confident they've got a part of the cosmic process right. JWST data processed by an international team of researchers backs up the theory of 'icy pebble drift', which is thought to be vital in bringing together the dust and rocks that eventually turn into planets like our own. Simply put, icy pebble drift works like this: as tiny, ice-covered bits of material bump together in the outer reaches of a young protoplanetary disk they lose momentum, allowing them to fall towards the star into a warmer zone where their frozen coating sublimates. It's from this ring of fine debris and water vapor that rocky planets form, effectively serving as a delivery service of building materials right across a newborn solar system.

One or two years ago I got a spam email with these two sentences in them and they’ve been a part of my vocabulary ever since

Have to study statistical physics today... How's your day going?

2/100 days of productivity

Today I had the test and it went well... But other than that, I didn't manage to do much more. I installed the program for my next project tho hehe... I will probably go to bed now, good night 🌙

With NASA announcing their streaming service NASA+ and also announcing it’s going to be free and also ad free, I’d just like to appreciate the lengths they go to make scientific knowledge and exploration as available as they possibly can.

Hello all, it's me again

I just wanted to give an update and to tell you why I am off of the grid all these months

I have been dealing with toxic shame a lot, and it has been exacerbated by working a job that is not related to my studies and my poor mental health. There is an irrational thought in my heart that I am undeserving of my studies, and seeing all the positive/productive posts. I know it makes no sense... I have felt this way since I was very little, and the origins of these feelings are very complex, so I don't think there is an easy solution for this...

I am not doing better when it comes to this, but I can't just give in to these feelings!!! So I will try to be more active on here and also be more honest, because I know I am not alone in this struggle 🏵️ Might help someone get out of their shell too :> I know it's hard, but I shouldn't betray myself like this
