In a cosmic first, scientists watched planet-forming materials begin to solidify around a newborn star, offering a peek into what our Solar System may have looked like at birth. It''s a stunning replay of planetary evolution, just 1300 light-years away.
This finding marks the first time a planetary system has been identified at such an early stage in its formation and opens a window to the past of our own Solar System.
While astronomers have seen discs of gas and dust around protostars before, they''ve never before identified a new planetary system at such an early stage.
In a stunning picture taken by the ESO''s Alma telescope network, the emerging planetary system resembles a lightning bug glowing against the black void.
The new planetary system is taking shape around HOPS-315, a baby star which is located 1,300 light years from Earth in the Orion Nebula.
The observations, published in the science journal Nature, show a glowing, lightning bug-like system against the dark void — a

Using the James Webb Space Telescope and a radio astronomy observatory in Chile, the first specks of planet-forming material were detected around a star called HOPS
Around a Sun-like star just 1,300 light-years away, a family of planets has been seen in its earliest moments of conception.
