Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have captured high-resolution images of eight protoplanetary disks in Sigma Orionis, a star cluster irradiated by intense ultraviolet light from a massive star. To their surprise, they’ve found evidence of gaps and rings in most of the disks — substructures commonly associated with the formation of giant
Sea robins are unusual ocean fish that possess specialized leg-like appendages used to ‘walk’ along the sea floor. New research shows that these appendages aren’t just used for walking; in fact, they are bona fide sensory organs used to find buried prey while digging. Lepidotrigla papilio.
