Fomalhaut’s Discs
Posted in Astronomy at 15:00 on 14 May 2023
Taken from Astronomy Picture of the Day for 11/5/23 this is spectacular view in infra-red light of the rings around Fomalhaut, which extend over twice as far as the Kuiper Belt is from our sun. A large dust cloud in the outermost ring is shown in highlight. The gaps in the rings may be evidence for planets.
