This image taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) shows the young planetary system PDS 70, located nearly 400 light-years away from Earth. The system features a star at its ...

Canadian astronomers have taken an extraordinary step in understanding how planets are born, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). JWST was used to study PDS 70, a young star with two growing ...

Astronomers have taken unprecedented images of baby planets in a distant star system. The planets are still surrounded by rings of gas and dust from which moons appear to be taking shape. The ...

PDS 70 consists of a parent star around which two enormous protoplanets are known to orbit. It is thought that these worlds, which were imaginatively named PDS 70b and PDS 70c, share key ...

An ALMA telescope image shows two potential exoplanet bodies that appear to orbit a star on the same orbit. Credit: ALMA (ESO / NAOJ / NRAO) / Balsalobre-Ruza et al. Astronomers think they've found ...

Artistic concept of the PDS 70 disk. JWST observations detected water in the inner disk, where normally terrestrial planets form. Two gas giant planets carved a wide gap in the disk made of gas and ...

The story of exoplanet PDS 70 c, the focus of the first confirmed image of a newborn planet still forming in our galaxy, becomes curioser and curioser. The story of exoplanet PDS 70 c, the focus of ...

The University of Arizona’s Magellan Adaptive Optics Xtreme instrument, combined with a six-and-a-half meter ground-based telescope, has imaged protoplanets in sharp detail. By capturing images of the ...

The star system PDS 70 features a star at its centre, around which the planet PDS 70b is orbiting. On the same orbit astronomers have detected a cloud of debris that could be the building blocks of a ...
