  A team of astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to establish how a distant planet was formed. The University of Leicester team formed part of a Nasa-coordinated study based on observations from the new telescope. It  began full science operation earlier this year  after reaching its observation position a million miles away from Earth. The team said it had given them new information about a planet named WASP-39b.
