Astronomers believe they have finally witnessed the birth of a new planet (Credit: Boccaletti et al.)

Over the past two decades, powerful instruments, like the now-retired Kepler space telescope, have allowed astronomers to identify thousands of exoplanets. While the unique new worlds, which range from fiery gas giants to icy spheres, have helped increase astronomers' knowledge about the development of planets, the process of how they form has always been a mystery. Now, scientists may finally get some answers thanks to the stunning, first-ever images of a new exoplanet being "born" about 520 light years from Earth.

        Because AB Aurigae is not a dwarf planet and if ALMA is forming around it, then it will become an even bigger planet so it’s probably not going to be a dwarf planet
