The shadow isnt from a planet, but from inner disk slightly inclined relative to larger outer disk

The team of researchers initially thought the shadows are being cast by two misaligned disks casting shadows.

Astronomers believe they have found evidence of two planets under construction in a distant young star around 200 light years away from Earth. Scientists have s...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured a young star playing "shadow puppets". In a cosmic game of shadow puppets, the Hubble Space Telescope has captured a young star in the act.

These unseen newborn planets are stirring up dust around TW Hydrae about 200 light years from Earth.

There's something odd about the TW Hydrae system, and it took astronomers some time to figure it out.

Astronomers believe they have found evidence of two planets under construction in a distant young star around 200 light years away.
