Astronomers have detected a young, massive planet, WISPIT 2b, within a multi-ringed protoplanetary disk, offering an unprecedented view into planet formation. This gas giant, five times bigger than Jupiter, orbits a young star 430 light-years away. The discovery provides valuable insights into how planets shape their surroundings and how our own solar system may have evolved billions of years ago.
