Exoplanet Forms Spiral Arms Around Young Star in Astronomical Discovery

Astronomers have used the Large Binocular Telescope in Arizona to observe a giant exoplanet named MWC 758c, which appears to be creating spiral arms around its host star. This discovery provides evidence that these structures can be formed by recently formed exoplanets. The researchers plan to use the James Webb Space Telescope to further study the system and learn more about the formation of planetary systems.
