Many newly formed stars are surrounded by what are called protoplanetary disks, swirling masses of warm dust and gas that can constitute the core of a developing solar system. Proof of the existence ...

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