This size is comparable to the size of the Solar System, and the ring structure most likely represents the boundary region between infalling gas and a rotating disk structure around the protostar. (sciencedaily.com)
This result confirms that gas giant planets form rapidly within disks and validates the use of disk structures as fingerprints of embedded planets. (science.sciencemag.org)
This result is the first direct evidence that interstellar organic materials are indeed fed into the rotating disk structure that eventually forms a planetary system. (sciencedaily.com)
