Planetary Domino Effect: Sequential Formation Observed Around PDS 70
Using the Atacama Large Millimetesubmillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers observed a chain reaction of planet formation around the star PDS 70, 367 light-years away, where two existing planets gravitationally shepherd material to potentially form a third planet. This domino effect suggests a sequenti...
