🪐 First direct #imaging of a forming #exoplanet carving multiple rings in its accretion disk! Van Capelleveen et al. (2025) reveal a ~5 MJup #protoplanet 57 AU (~8.5 billion km, farther than Pluto) from its star (#WISPIT2, ~133 pc) with #VLT/SPHERE, showing #Keplerian motion and Hα #accretion. A rare, striking view of planet–disk interaction in real time 💫
