"There are 450 light-years between Earth and LkCa15, a young star with a transition disk around it, a cosmic whirling dervish, a birthplace for planets.
Despite the disk's considerable distance from Earth and its gaseous, dusty atmosphere, University of Arizona researchers captured the first photo of a planet in the making, a planet residing in a gap in LkCa15's disk.
Of the roughly 2,000 known exoplanets—planets that orbit a star other than our sun—only about 10 have been imaged, and that was long after they had formed, not when they were in the making.
"This is the first time that we've imaged a planet that we can say is still forming," says Steph Sallum, a UA graduate student, who with Kate Follette, a former UA graduate student now doing postdoctoral work at Stanford University, led the research."
Gotta learn how to use Photoshop someday. Little itty bitty white robed bearded guy needs to be inserted.
So...Does this mean God is there right now, 450 ly away? Or was, 450 years ago?
