Astronomers Locate A Planet Forming For The First Time Ever

Did you ever think they’d find something like that?

Theories of planetary formation have been debated for centuries and NOW they see one.  There has also been a lot of discussion about exoplanets lately as well as they may give us clues to what our solar system may have looked like in the early days.  Many including kepler-452b and others have hogged the spotlight as astronomers consider them as possible habitats for extraterrestrial life.  Even the SETI program is restarting.  And now there is an exciting related development:

For the first time, scientists have observed a planet being formed and have captured images of dust and gas particles accumulating together to make a protoplanet in a distant solar system.

Let’s find out more about this exciting formation on page 2

    Well, considering the vast amount of time, and space, created by the Big Bang…
    It only makes sense that there are millions upon millions of star systems AND planetary objects forming as I write this.
    This is the tip of the interstellar iceberg.

    Read up on “Bubble Universes in hyper space.”
    There may in fact be as many universes as there are stars in our entire universe.
    Now, proving it is another matter entirely.

    We are the “Who’s” which Horton heard.
    We are unimaginably small in the grand scheme.
