Planet Formation
Posted in Astronomy at 12:00 on 13 September 2025
From Astronomy Picture of the Day for 8/9/25 via the Webb Space Telescope.
The picture shows a nebula spreading out from star IRAS 04302+2247 . The butterfly shape apparently indicates a planet-forming system. (There’s a nice spiral galaxy to the bottom left of the image as well.)
