Astronomers capture first direct image of a baby planet inside a dark ring gap:

Astronomers have, for the first time, captured a direct image of a forming planet within a dark gap in a multi-ringed disk surrounding a young star. The planet, named WISPIT 2b, is around 5 million years old and orbits WISPIT 2, a young star located 430 light-years away in the constellation Aquila. This discovery provides new insights into planetary formation.
