Warped planet nurseries rewrite the rules of how worlds are born
Astronomers using ALMA have discovered that planet-forming discs are not flat and serene but subtly warped, reshaping our understanding of how planets form. These slight tilts, similar to those seen among planets in our Solar System, suggest that planetary systems emerge in more chaotic and dynamic conditions than once believed. The findings point to new connections between disc warps, gas flow, turbulence, and the feeding of young stars, raising exciting questions about the forces shaping worlds across the cosmos.
