Hubble Telescope & HBC 672 | NASA
In 2017, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of a huge wing-shaped shadow cast by a fledgling star’s unseen, planet-forming disk. The young star, called HBC 672, is casting the shadow across a more distant cloud in a star-forming region—like a fly wandering into the beam of a flashlight shining on a wall. Now, after observing the shadow again, astronomers report that they see the giant shadow flapping its "wings"!
