Utilizzando lo strumento #ERIS installato sul #VeryLargeTelescope, un team di ricerca a guida italiana ha osservato per la prima volta un possibile pianeta in formazione, che sta scolpendo il disco di gas e polveri attorno alla sua stella in una struttura a spirale.

Using ESO's #VLT, astronomers have discovered extremely powerful winds on #exoplanet WASP-127b.
The winds reach speeds up to 33 000 km/h, the fastest jetstream of its kind ever measured on a planet!
