Scientists name vast space oddity after Dracula and a sandwich
- Researchers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured images of a colossal cosmic phenomenon named 'Dracula's Chivito', which is the largest known planet-forming disk documented.
- The disk spans nearly 400 billion miles across and surrounds the celestial body IRAS 23077+6707, located about 1,000 light-years from Earth.
- Co-Researcher Joshua Bennett Lovell stated, 'Hubble has given us a front row seat to the chaotic processes that are shaping disks as they build new planets.'
- Scientists believe the features of 'Dracula's Chivito' may provide insights into planetary formation in massive stellar nurseries.
