Scientists have found a new system of planets around a star far away. It has rocky planets on the outside and gas planets in the middle, which is not what they expected. This helps them learn more about how planets are made.

Using data from ALMA and advanced simulations, a research team led by Santiago Orcajo from the Instituto de Astrofísica de La Plata in Argentina (CONICET and Universidad Nacional de La Plata) has presented a new model that traces the evolution of protoplanetary disks through five distinct stages. The results strongly support a planet-driven origin of these substructures and offer new insights into how planets interact with the disks in which they form.
Stage I: Very young disks with shallow or no obvious substructures, corresponding to an epoch in which protoplanets are not massive enough to carve noticeable gaps in the disks.
Stage II: Disks with relatively narrow, but clear gaps and rings, indicating the growth of protoplanets
Stage III: A rapid widening of the gaps due to the sudden growth in the mass of some planets when they acquire their gaseous envelopes. This stage includes the rapid accumulation of dust at the outer edges of the gaps (the inner rims of the outer disks) due to the strong “pressure bumps” caused by the giant planets that recently formed, which stops the inward drift of dust.
Stage IV: Dust filtration at the edges of the cavities, resulting in dust-depleted inner disks. The millimeter dust from the outer disks efficiently drifts in and accumulates at the edges of the gaps.
Stage V: Eventually, the dusty inner disks drain completely onto the stars, and the outer disks become narrow rings (or collections of narrow rings).

An international collaboration called exoALMA is using our telescopes to s peer through the dusty disks where planets are born. Thanks to their newly developed advanced imaging techniques, exoALMA has revealed the most sharp images of young solar systems, as never seen before. This research project has just published 17 papers, with several more coming on the several months.
The exoALMA collaboration is using ALMA to conduct a comprehensive planet hunting campaign in the sub-mm regime. They claim to be the first to focus on still-forming planets, instead of fully formed ones.
Unlike traditional planet-hunting methods that look for a young planet's direct light, exoALMA looks for the effects planets have on their surroundings. This approach potentially allows to detect much younger planets than ever before. "It's like trying to spot a fish by looking for ripples in a pond, rather than [the] fish itself.”
