Only the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, with its high re! solution and sensitivity, can take such detailed pictures of circumstellar discs at optical wavelengths.Looking like a graceful watercolour painting, the Orion Nebula is one of the most photogenic objects in space and one of the Hubble Space Telescope's favourite targets. As newborn stars emerge from the nebula's mixture of gas and dust, protoplanetary discs, also known as proplyds, form around them: the centre of the spinning disc heats up and becomes a new star, but remnants around the ...
