Webb Finds Icy Disk

#NASA #ImageOfTheDay Webb has found crystalline water ice in a debris disk around a young, Sun-like star called HD 181327. Based on its presence in our own solar system, scientists have expected to see it in other star systems - but haven't had sensitive enough instruments to provide definitive proof until now.
