ESO News

Utilizzando immagini del VLT (Very Large Telescope) dell'ESO e del telescopio spaziale Hubble della NASA/ESA alcuni astronomi hanno scoperto strutture mai viste prima all'interno di un disco di polvere che circonda una stella vicina alla Terra. Le strutture ondulatorie e in movimento rapido nel disco della stella AU Microscopii non assomigliano a nulla che sia mai stato osservato prima e nemmeno previsto. L'orgine e la natura di queste strutture ci offrono un nuovo intrigo da esplorare. I risultati sono pubblicati sulla rivista Nature nel numero dell'8 ottobre 2015.
