BepiColombo will arrive in 2026 to uncover the planet Mercury, and unravel how a planet as small, dense, and in such an odd ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has detected the most expansive protoplanetary disk documented to date, extending across 400 ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has imaged “Dracula’s Chivito,” the largest protoplanetary disk ever seen around a young star ...

Hubble reveals the largest planet-forming disk ever seen, Dracula's Chivito, showing a chaotic and uneven environment around ...

James Webb observations detect warm carbon monoxide gas in the inner disk of HD 131488, revealing non-equilibrium conditions and evidence of exocomet-driven gas replenishment near the star.

Hubble spots the largest known planet forming disk, chaotic and lopsided, hiding a young star 1,000 light years away, raising ...

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.

For the first time ever, scientists detect snow-like ice in deep space, surrounding a newborn planetary system and reshaping ...

Joshua Bennett Lovell, who is a co-investigator, said that they were "stunned" to see how asymmetric this disk is.

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, ...

"Hubble has given us a front row seat to the chaotic processes that are shaping disks as they build new planets — processes ...

Scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope discovered the largest protoplanetary disk ever, nicknamed Dracula’s Chivito, about 1,000 light-years from Earth. It is 40 times bigger than our solar ...
