Nearly 300 years after Immanuel Kant proposed that our solar system’s family of planets condensed from a flattened disk of gas and dust,
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope revealed that such planetary nurseries are common across our galaxy.
Now, Hubble has identified the largest known protoplanetary disk
—spanning an astonishing 400 billion miles,
roughly 40 times the diameter of our solar system

The [not pictured] sign said, “females generally prefer partners with a larger snood”.
