Astronomers find free-floating planets and where they came from.
In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, discover William Balmer’s research on how direct imaging can show us more about planet formation!
How can we combine multiple telescopes to learn about exoplanets? Interferometry!
To understand planet formation, we need to observe newborn planets that are in their earlier stages of development. This is exactly what was discovered around PDS 70 – the first young, forming planet around a protostar of this age. Read more to learn about what we saw, and how we got that data!
Well, let’s have a drink and see if that helps us figure things out.
