Solid water ice has been found for the first time beyond the Solar System in a belt around HD 181327
Star system: Eta Telescopii A | Distance from the Sun: 158 light years
James Webb Space Telescope discovered water ice in a Kuiper belt analogue around young star HD 181327. The star has about 40 % more mass than the Sun and lies 158 light years away. The young star is probably bound to the close Eta Telescopii system. Astronomers found a cold debris disk 86 AU from the star.
