    Huge Spiral Patterns around some Newborn Stars (few million yo) may be evidence for presence of Giant unseen Planets

    October 30, 2015, Categories  Astronomy/Space

    A computer model reproduces the two-spiral-arm structure; the "x" is the location of a putative planet. The planet, which cannot be seen directly, probably excites the two spiral arms.

    This idea not only opens the door to a new method of planet detection, but also could offer a look into the early formative years of planet birth. Though astronomers have cataloged thousands of planets orbiting other stars, the earliest stages of planet formation are elusive because nascent planets are born and embedded inside vast, pancake-shaped disks of dust and gas encircling newborn stars, known as circumstellar disks.

    The conclusion that planets may betr...
