Topic: Planetary Formation

This is an artist's illustration of a massive new exoplanet called AB Aurigae b, confirmed to be forming via new and archival data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Subaru Telescope. AB Aurigae b is estimated to be about nine times more massive than Jupiter and orbits its host star over two times farther than Pluto is from our Sun. (NASA / ESA / Joseph Olmsted (STScI))
