That's no lightsaber... These are two views of a dusty disk made of planet formation debris, observed in infrared light for the first time. The white star symbol marks where Webb blocked out starlight with a coronagraph, or mask: #MayTheFourthBeWithYou !

Happy #EarthDay ! There’s no place like our home planet: still the only place we know of with life. That’s why researchers have used observations of Earth to better understand how the atmospheres of habitable, Earth-sized exoplanets might look to Webb:
