WASHINGTON, April 4 – Scientists have observed an enormous planet about nine times the mass of Jupiter at a remarkably early stage of formation – describing it as still in the womb – in a discovery that challenges the current understanding of planetary formation.
Psst! Wanna see an actual Hubble image of a planet forming around a nearby star?
With that in mind, a team of astronomers used the huge Subaru telescope in Hawaii and Hubble Space Telescope to look for any possible still-forming planets, called protoplanets, orbiting AB Aurigae.
