Hubble Uncovers "Dracula's Chivito": Largest, Most Chaotic Planet-Forming Disk Ever Seen

• NASA's Hubble Space Telescope discovered the largest protoplanetary disk ever, challenging traditional planet formation theories.
• The massive disk, nicknamed "Dracula’s Chivito," surrounds young star IRAS 23077+6707, located 1,000 light-years from Earth.
• Stretching 400 billion miles, it's 40 times larger than our solar system's Kuiper Belt, stunning researchers with its immense size.
• Unlike calm disks, this one is chaotic, distorted, and uneven, suggesting planets can form under extreme, turbulent conditions.
• The discovery implies planet formation might be messier and more violent than previously believed, opening new questions about early solar systems.

Why It Matters: Hubble's discovery of "Dracula's Chivito" reveals planet formation can be chaotic and violent.
