The discoveries were made by using the ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) and Chile's Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).
At the center of this image is the young star V960 Mon. Surrounding it are spiral arms of materials that are collapsing to form planets.(photo credit: ESO/ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/Weber et al.)
