In this episode, we will talk about one of the most amazing discoveries made by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): the observation of a white dwarf star and its debris disk. We will explain how JWST observed this system in infrared light, how this disk was formed by the fragmentation of large bodies that had liquid water on them, and what we can learn from this observation about the evolution and fate of planetary systems around white dwarfs. This episode will answer these questions and more, using facts, evidence, and explanations from credible sources. By the end of this episode, you will have a better understanding of astrophysics and astrobiology, and you will be amazed by the wonders of the universe.
