Current Events



Hi There!

Today I'm going to talk about current events in the news. Scientists have been looking at a planet forming for the first time and they are using a very special telescope. 

Guess what that telescope was named. Drum roll.... 

It was called Very Large Telescope! 

It is located at European Southen Obersvatory and the scientists found a star sytem being born. Images show a spiral of dust and gas around what they call a young star called AB Aurigae. 

This is an image off their web site,  I think it is one they got out of the telescope.
The disc around the young AB Aurigae star shows a ‘twist’ marking the spot where a new planet is being formed.How is the Very Large Telescope Operated? | ESO Norge
