There, in a nebula near a young star, the AB Aurigae, astronomers caught what they estimate to be the formation of a new planet.
The find was made using the Very Large Telescope (VLT), a telescope system from the European Southern Observatory, located on a mountain near Antofagasta, Chile.

What does the picture show?
Astronomers indicate that the image shows a spiral structure with a “fold” near the center, suggesting that it is the formation of a new world.

AB Aurigae is a young star surrounded by a thick disk of cold gas and dust, which astronomers say are suitable ingredients for forming a planet.
According to NASA, the particles surrounding these young stars are only 1/50 the diameter of a human hair, but gravitational forces unite gas and dust, and sometime between 1 and 10 million years later, All that collision results in a planetary body.
Although scientists have seen “baby” planets on other occasions, it is believed that this is the first time that they have managed to capture one in the process of formation.
