Virginia: Astronomers revealed newer images of young stars being taken by Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA). He said it showed very primitive stages of formations of planet. Researchers used VLA for seeing details unprecedented on inner portions of dusty disks surrounding stars. This is near about 450 light years from our Earth.
Stars and disks had been studied in year 2014 with Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). This produced as to what astronomers called then best images of formation of planets whilst in progression till date. This was online posted on National Radio Astronomy Observatory on 17th March 2016.
Gaps were observed in the disk as shown by ALMA. Bodies like planets were sweeping dust in their orbit showing in real-time scenario what the premier theorists had proposed. The star HL Tau is only a very young star and scientists are pleasantly surprised.
The formation of planets is shown by ALMA image by a “clump of dust” in the inner portion of the young star which is 3-8 times mass of earth. This gives us a lot of information about the birth of planets starting out at the very rudimentary stages as was pointed out by Carlos Carrasco-Gonzalez, Institute of Radio Astronomy and Astrophysics (IRyA), Mexico. The dust clumps will eventually gather solid mass and become planets and their satellites.
