Planetary Disc -With Gaps- Is Imaged Around HL Tauri

[MoeKitsune]

The star HL Tauri is no more than a million years old, and a planetary disc has been discovered by the Hubble telescope. Not until early November ago has it been imaged sharper than ever, with GAPS. This means that planets are forming. And the star's a million years old. I'll let you soak that in.

(This was discovered some time ago, and I haven't found a thread. If I'm not allowed to post links yet, let me know. It's an honest mistake if I am breaking the rules.)
