Warped disk around newborn star noticed for first time ever
Using observations from ALMA radio observatory in Chile, researchers have observed a warped disk around an infant protostar for the first time ever. The observation implies misalignment of planet's orbits in many planetary systems may be caused by distortions in the planet-forming disk. Notably, the plane of planets in the Solar System is tilted around 7Â° from the Sun's equator.
