Artist’s depiction of YSES-1 system
Artist’s depiction of YSES-1 system This artist’s depiction of the YSES-1 system shows a young Sun-like star at the center, surrounded by two giant exoplanets. On the right is YSES-1b, encircled by a glowing dusty circumplanetary disk, and on the left is YSES-1c, whose atmosphere is laced with high-altitude silicate clouds. The system is just 16 million years old, offering a snapshot of giant planets in the early stages of their evolution. Ellis Bogat
