A glimpse of a planet in formation: AB Aurigae b detected in H-alpha light
Since the first discovery of planets beyond the solar system in 1995, more than 6,000 exoplanets have been identified. Many of these planets have properties that differ significantly from the eight planets in our solar system. How are such diverse exoplanets formed and evolved, and which of them could potentially become Earth-like planets capable of supporting life?
Formation Of Exoplanet AB Aurigae b Detected in H-alpha Light - Astrobiology
Small rocky planets like Earth, which can harbor life, and giant gas planets like Jupiter are born around stars like the Sun. Their birthplace is a thin, disk-shaped structure of gas and dust known as a protoplanetary disk. Protoplanetary disks are observed not only around Sun-like stars but also around more massive or lighter young […] The post Formation Of Exoplanet AB Aurigae b Detected in H-alpha Light appeared first on Astrobiology.
