Gaia Space Telescope Uncovers New Worlds in the Making
The European Space Agency’s Gaia telescope has discovered seven potential "baby" planets by detecting the subtle gravitational wobbles of stars still in their infancy. By surveying 98 young stellar systems, researchers bypassed thick clouds of cosmic dust to find these hidden worlds, marking a major milestone in understanding how planetary systems form. This breakthrough provides a direct link to the early history of our own Solar System and establishes new targets for the James Webb Space Telescope to study in detail.
