Astrónomos, utilizando el instrumento SPHERE en el Very Large Telescope (VLT) del Observatorio Paranal de ESO, han detectado dos planetas en formación dentro de un disco protoplanetario alrededor de la joven estrella RXJ1615, ubicada a 600 años luz en la constelación de Escorpio. El sistema de anillos concéntricos alrededor de la estrella, similar a los anillos de Saturno, tiene solo 1,8 millones de años, lo que lo convierte en un sistema excepcionalmente joven para observar la formación planetaria. SPHERE permite la observación directa de las interacciones entre los discos protoplanetarios y los planetas en formación, que esculpen estructuras como anillos y huecos en los discos. El descubrimiento ayuda a los astrónomos a comprender mejor la relación entre estas estructuras y los planetas que las originan en los sistemas planetarios jóvenes.
