Amazing picture. When I was a kid, no one really knew how planets formed. There was a theory that the planets of our solar system were ripped out of the sun by the gravitational tug of a close-passing star. Today, we know that planets are common, and they form when they sweep away leftover material from the star’s debris disk, until they dominate their respective orbits (Nebular theory). We can see it happening with modern telescopes, but this is the best one I’ve seen so far.
