NASA’s Hubble captured images of IRAS 23077+6707, the largest known protoplanetary disk, revealing its structure, asymmetry, and potential for forming multiple gas giant planets.

By tracking tiny stellar wobbles, astronomers have detected planets forming around young stars for the first time.

This results in a composition that is “unexpectedly chaotic and turbulent.” “These new Hubble images show that planet nurseries can be much more active and chaotic than we expected,” Kristina Monsch, ...
