Closest-ever view of planet-forming disk captured around distant star



Los Angeles CA (SPX) Nov 06, 2025
Astronomers at the W. M. Keck Observatory have observed the innermost zones where planets begin to take shape, using the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRC2) on Maunakea, Hawaii. Their study targeted HD 34282, a young star surrounded by dust and gas roughly 400 light-years away. The telescope's advanced imaging tools enabled the team to study regions close to the star that were previously out of reach. They identified a thick, transitional disk sculpted by the processes of planet formation and detected an ... read more
