Astronomers capture earliest moment of planet birth around infant star HOPS-315

Highlights:

  • Scientists detect earliest stage of planet formation around star HOPS-315.
  • Discovery made using data from JWST and ALMA telescopes.
  • Findings could mirror conditions in our solar system 4.6 billion years ago.
  • Research published in top journal Nature on 16 July.

In a historic breakthrough, astronomers have captured what they call the “earliest moment” when planets begin to form, not around our Sun, but around a young star named HOPS-315 located about 1,300 light-years away in the Orion constellation. The discovery marks the first time solid mineral grains, the initial seeds of planet formation, have been observed emerging within a protoplanetary disk around a new-born star.

The finding was made possible by the combined power of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile. The results were published on Wednesday (16 July) in the journal Nature.
