planets leave their mark on the environments where they are born. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, an international research team led by Myriam Benisty of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy has imaged the...

ALMA observatory data reveals new details of Gomez’s Hamburger, a cosmic disk that may be actively forming a giant planet within its gas and dust layers. Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have uncovered chemical...

from? The answer, it seems, lies deep in time. In a landmark study using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have detected heavy water (D₂O) in the planet-forming disk around a young star known as V883 Orionis (V883...

Astronomers have used ALMA to capture a rare, direct image of a forming planet interacting with gas, revealing how giant worlds grow in distant systems. New ALMA Data Captures Planets Sculpting Their Birth Disk in Real Time Astronomers have gained a...

New ALMA images reveal persistent hot spots in Betelgeuse’s atmosphere, and a mysterious stellar companion may explain their unusual alignment. Fresh, high-resolution imagery of the red supergiant Betelgeuse has revealed a chaotic and increasingly...

a new glimpse into how galaxies grew after the Big Bang. Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have achieved a milestone in early-universe astronomy by directly detecting neutral oxygen emission in four galaxies...

understanding of how planets—and the precursors to life—take shape. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, researchers identified a complex array of organic molecules and unexpected microwave emissions within the...

hidden deep within a massive, dusty disk surrounding a young star. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), researchers mapped a unique chemical landscape that may capture one of the earliest observable moments in the birth of a...
