This Newborn Planet Is Carving Out A Home In Its Protoplanetary Disk

On the left is a disk and a candidate planet around the star HD 135344B as seen with ERIS. On the right is a joint VLT and ALMA view of the disk. The planet is carving spiral patterns in the disk. Image Credit: ESO/F. Maio et al./T. Stolker et al./ ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/N. van der Marel et al.
