Widly Misaligned
Wallpaper Description:
This stunning space image shows a striking pair of wildly misaligned planet-forming gas discs around both the young stars in the binary system HK Tauri. ALMA observations of this system have provided the clearest picture ever of protoplanetary discs in a double star. The new result demonstrates one possible way to explain why so many exoplanets--unlike the planets in the Solar System--came to have strange, eccentric or inclined orbits.Credit: R.Hurt (NASA/JPL-Caltech/IPAC)
