Astronomers have imaged the largest protoplanetary #disk ever observed around a young #star.
For the first time in visible light, images obtained with #Hubble have revealed the disk is unexpectedly chaotic and turbulent, with wisps of material stretching much farther above and below the disk than seen in any similar system.
#Planet nurseries can be much more active and chaotic than expected.
We’re seeing this disk nearly edge-on and its wispy upper layers and asymmetric features are especially striking. Images from both Hubble and #JWST have revealed similar structures in other disks, but IRAS 23077+6707 provides us with an exceptional perspective — allowing us to trace its substructures in visible light at an unprecedented level of detail.
This makes the system a unique, new laboratory for studying planet formation and the environments where it happens.

60,000 #penguins in #Africa starved to death after sardine #fish numbers collapsed
Just think if the immidiate pleasure of having on your plate a piece of a dead #animal and #cheese made of a tortured animal is worth ecosystems collapsing
Go #plantbased for the #planet, which we're part of.
#Govegan for the animals, for they're not resources but sensual beings
