ALMA Reveals a Trillion-Mile Gas Stream Feeding GW Orionis
ALMA has captured a vast stream of gas feeding the young triple-star system GW Orionis, located about 1,300 light-years away. Stretching roughly 12,000 astronomical units (0.2 light-years), the streamer connects the surrounding molecular cloud with the system’s unusual, misaligned planet-forming rings. The observations provide strong evidence that late infall of material from a star’s natal [...]
