Astronomers Spot Growing Protoplanet in Disk Gap around Young Solar Analog

Using the SPHERE instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have directly imaged a 4.9-Jupiter-mass protoplanet in a cleared gap of a multi-ringed protoplanetary disk around WISPIT 2 (TYC 5709-354-1), a 5-million-year-old solar analog located 133 parsecs (434 light-years) on the constellation of Aquila. This image, taken with ESO’s Very Large Telescope, is the
