NASA’s Hubble reveals a giant chaotic planet nursery unlike anything seen before

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured the most detailed visible light images ever taken of the largest known protoplanetary disk surrounding a young star. The enormous structure appears far more chaotic and turbulent than astronomers expected, with huge wisps of gas and dust extending high above and below the disk. Even more unusual, the longest filament-like structures can only be seen on one side.
