The giant exoplanet MWC 758c offers a glimpse into the birth of alien solar systems.
"I think of this system as an analogy for how our own solar system would have appeared less than 1% into its lifetime," Wagner said.", being a giant planet, also likely interacted with and gravitationally sculpted our own disk billions of years ago, which eventually led to the formation of Earth."
"It was an open question as to why we hadn't seen any of these planets yet," Wagner said."Most models of planet formation suggest that giant planets should be very bright shortly after their formation, and such planets should have already been detected."The University of Arizona spotted the spiral arms dealer around MWC 758 using the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer .
If the exoplanet is surrounded by a great deal of dust, this may indicate that it is still forming or even that it is in the process of gathering its own moons as the solar system gas giant Jupiter did billions of years ago.
