Space Ping!.......................
Silly me!
I’d expect that the RINGS form into planets, rather than the gaps...
“The largest gaps likely contain protoplanets, which form by collecting gas, dust, and small meteoroid fragments, gradually clearing their orbit of that debris.”
Is there an overlay image of our SS over this one?
The image detail blows away expectations. It’s like visiting.
If the the star was not shrouded would its brightness obscure away the image detail?
Why do you suppose the rings are essentially in two dimensions (a disk) rather than spherical?
NOT my fault!
Or perhaps they are 3-d but the waves are diffracted, similar to light through a raindrop.
Either we’re witnessing the birth of a new star, or the Rebels done blowed up another Death Star!
The image without the graphics, which I thought get in the way.
