Witness the birth of a solar system 400 light-years away. In the PDS 70 system, two massive gas giants are still in their infancy, actively feeding on a dense disk of cosmic dust and gas. At just 5.4 million years old, this star system serves as a live laboratory for astronomers to watch planetary assembly in real time, offering a rare look at the chaotic origins of worlds similar to our own.
