JWST finds the nearest planet-forming disk is warped — and its sculpting planets are hiding A team led by Yu-Chia Lin (University of Arizona) has obtained new JWST/NIRCam coronagraphic images of TW Hydrae, the nearest and best-studied protoplanetary disk. The data reveal a warped disk architecture whose tilt varies with radius, a brighter and bluer scattering surface than seen by Hubble, and a bifurcation structure at 120 AU — while ruling out sculpting planets more massive than two Jupiter masses in the gap regions.... https://skycr.org/2026/08/03/tw-hya-warped-protoplanetary-disk-jwst/
