Using images from ESO’s Very Large Telescope and the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered unique and totally unexpected structures within the dusty disc around the star AU Microscopii.
This ESOcast takes a look at these fast-moving wave-like dust features, which are unlike anything ever observed, or even predicted.
