Astronomers capture early planet formation around a Sun-like star, 1,370 light-years away.

Astronomers have captured the earliest stages of planet formation around a young star similar to our Sun, named HOPS-315, located 1,370 light-years away. Using advanced telescopes, they detected solid specks and minerals condensing within the star's gas disk, indicating the beginning of planet formation. This observation offers a unique insight into the early stages of our solar system and could help scientists understand the formation of Earth-like planets.
