ALMA Radio Telescope Delivers Its Highest Resolution Image Yet Submillimeter-wave emission from the stellar surface is shown in orange, and hydrogen cyanide maser emissions at 891 GHz are shown in blue. The observations show that a ring-like gas structure surrounds the star and that gas from the star is escaping to the surrounding space.

Two Planets Might Have Been Caught Sharing The Same Orbit For The First Time On the same orbit as PDS 70b, indicated by a solid yellow ellipse, astronomers have detected a cloud of debris (circled by a yellow dotted line) that could be the building blocks of a new planet or the remnants of one already formed. The ring-like structure that dominates the image is a circumstellar disc of material, out of which planets are forming. There is in fact another planet in this system: PDS 70c, seen at 3 o’clock right next to the inner rim of the disc.
