    Highest resolution image to date of a protoplanetary disc around the young HL Tauri star. The picture shows a face-on view of the disc with bright concentric rings of gaseous material that are separated by darker gaps. Gaps in protoplanetary discs are associated with planet formation.

    Image title
    • This is the sharpest image ever taken by ALMA— sharper than is routinely achieved in visible light with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. It shows the protoplanetary disc surrounding the young star HL Tauri. These new ALMA observations reveal substructures within the disc that have never been seen before and even show the possible positions of planets forming in the dark patches within the system.
