Baby Pictures of a Solar System
This spectacular space photo shows an area of space filled with new-born stars. The zoomed in section reveals a so-called “proto-planetary” disc surrounding the star. This disc of cosmic dust will one day form into planets. The familiar shape of this object has led to its nickname: the Flying Saucer.
