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.

The level of detail we’re seeing is rare in protoplanetary disk imaging,” commented Kristina Monsch from the Center for ...

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 ...

A disk 40 times the diameter of our solar system has been discovered by the Hubble Telescope, which is likely an image of ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has spotted the biggest planet-forming disk ever discovered. The finding reveals violent chaos ...

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

Hubble identified the largest known protoplanetary disk, revealing a turbulent, chaotic environment with material extending ...
