Just thought I would share this video with you all :)

Simulations of young stellar systems suggest that planets embedded in a circumstellar disk can produce many distinctive structures, including rings, gaps and spiral arms. This video compares computer simulations of hypothetical systems to an image of system SAO 206462 taken by the Subaru Telescope and its HiCIAO instrument.

  • @MrDavebury Hi there, A defunct German space telescope called ROSAT is set to hit the planet at the end of October but I am not sure if it did yet. I think we would have all heard of this happening already. But I am curious now!!

  • Hi, Do you know if anything was due to re-enter/burn up over my neck of the woods  this Monday 17th. I am not talking the size of a small town as some scare mongers are. It is because I know something did burn up and broke into a few pieces.

  • @HarleyFrances Random Nasa video that's all!

  • Thats different :)
