ALMA Telescope Reveals Dust Grains in Young Star-Forming Region
Recently, astronomers have used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to observe a young star, finding evidence of large grains of dust in the star’s protoplanetary disk. This is the first time large dust grains have been observed so early in a star’s evolution and the discovery provides insight into the formation of planets around young stars. The study’s findings will help us better understand the environment in which planets form and how they evolve.
