What Are the Spiral Patterns in Dust Around Young Stars?
A team of astronomers is proposing that huge spiral patterns seen around some newborn stars, merely a few million years old (about one percent our sun’s age), may be evidence for the presence of giant, unseen planets.
This idea not only opens the door to a new method of planet detection, but also could offer a look into the early formative years of planet birth.
The first planet orbiting a normal star was identified in 1995. Thanks to ground-based telescopes and NASA’s Kepler mission, a few thousand exoplanets have been cataloged to date. But because the planets are in mature systems, many millions or a few billion years old, they offer little direct clues as to how they formed.
Please join +Tony Darnell Dr.+Carol Christian and +Scott Lewis as they discuss what this means for finding exoplanets with the astronomers of the study.

Behind the Webb: Working Stiff (Episode 29)
The James Webb Space Telescope needs to be kept as cold as possible in order to detect infrared light from faint and very distant objects. A key component of this is the observatory’s tennis court-sized sunshield, which obstructs the warmth of the Sun. In this episode of “Behind the Webb,” engineers add special structures to the sunshield that shape it to best reflect heat.
“Behind the Webb” is an ongoing series that follows the construction of the Webb Space Telescope, Hubble’s successor. Find more episodes at Hubblesite.org.
