Recently the Hubble took an image of the largest planet-forming disk ever seen! At 400 billion miles wide, it is roughly 40 times the diameter of our solar system. The disk is unexpectedly chaotic and turbulent, offering new insights into how planetary systems form #NASA #Science bit.ly/477sQ9b 🔭 🧪
