Show Notes
In today's image, we see an image taken by the ALMA array of radio telescopes in Chile. The newly formed star at the center has a ring of planet forming material around it. Just inside the ring is a planet that is forming and is about the size of Jupiter. In addition, the material around the planet is believed to be forming several moons about the size of our own Moon around the planet.
