Animation Zooming in on Theoretical Protoplanet around HL Tau
This artist's rendition of a protoplanetary disk around the star HLTau is inspired by data from the Large Aticama Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Karl Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico which provides unprecedented resolution of clumps of material. The animation zooms through the disk to a theoretical planet forming near the star.
