This photo from the SPHERE instrument on the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope is the first clear image of a planet caught in the act of formation, around the dwarf star PDS 70. The planet is clearly visible as a bright point to the right of the star at the center, which has been blacked out by the coronagraph mask used to block the blinding light of the star.

These two images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope show how the storm changed over a couple of months. The image on the right shows how it developed into a global storm. [Via J. Bell (ASU), M. Wolff (Space Science Inst.), Hubble Heritage Team (STScI / AURA), NASA]0 -
