Simulation of the surface of the sky as it might be seen from the surface of the planet TRAPPIST-1f, one of the three new planets found in the host region of the dwarf star TRAPPIST-1. The seven planets in his planetary system are so close together that they can be clearly seen from the surface of one of them. Imaging: NASA/JPL-Caltech.

Artist's impression of a disk surrounding a young giant star. Astronomers have for the first time been able to clearly look at a disk of dust closely surrounding a young giant star. This discovery provides direct evidence that massive stars form in the same way as their smaller brothers and thus closes a heated debate. The artist's rendering shows what such a massive disk might look like. Photo: ESO/L. Calçada
