  5. Distant Planet System Puzzles Astronomers, Questions Planet Formation Rules

    Astronomers found a far-off planet system with mixed rocky and gas planets, challenging old ideas about how planets form. What does this mean?

  7. 🔭 Exciting discoveries from the ARKS survey carried out with the ALMA interferometer! Astronomers have captured the 'teenage years' of planetary systems, showcasing the dynamic growth stages of 24 debris discs—cosmic evidence of how planets evolve. #Astronomy #PlanetFormation

  8. 🪐 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 💫

  13. ✨ Interstellar objects such as the recently discovered 3I/ATLAS could play a key role in jump-starting the rapid formation of giant planets, research by Professor Susanne Pfalzner (JSC) suggests, using advanced simulations on HPC systems of the JSC: buff.ly/eMVJJ8D

  14. 1/ 🌌 A twist in planet formation: Protoplanetary #discs aren’t flat. 🪐

    A recent study led by Andrew Winter from #MPIA and the Queen Mary University of London #QMUL shows many discs are slightly warped instead of being highly symmetrical.

  15. Planetary systems can be extremely different - and quite unlike the #SolarSystem. The new Lise Meitner Group at #MPSGoettingen headed by Joanna Drążkowska models planetary formation in a unified theory. Read more here: mps.mpg.de/studying-planetary-
