A Solar System Is Born: Planet-Forming “Pebbles” Detected Around Two Distant Young Stars
Centimeter-sized pebbles have been detected in protoplanetary discs using e‑MERLIN, filling in a critical phase of planet formation. These findings point toward the birthplaces of future planetary systems. A new window into the early stages of solar system formation has opened with the discovery of planet-forming ‘pebbles’ surrounding two young stars. These small building blocks [...]
