Summary:
- Astronomers have discovered a disk of material around a massive exoplanet, which could provide insights into how the moons of gas giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn formed.
- The disk around the exoplanet, called PDS 70c, is similar to the disks of material that are thought to have formed the moons of the gas giants in our own solar system.
- This discovery suggests that the formation of moons around massive planets may be a common process in the universe, and could help scientists better understand the early stages of planetary system formation.
