Astronomers, with the help of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, have for the first time confirmed the existence of crystalline water ice in the debris disk around a young star located 155 light years from Earth. This research, published in the British journal Nature, confirms scientists' decades-long speculation that other star systems do indeed contain frozen water resources similar to those in our own solar system.
