## Caption

A baby planet is born! Just 370 light-years from Earth, a planet is forming from the dust and gas swirling around the star PDS 70. This image of the 5.4 million-year-old planet's birth is the first ever to capture the process. The dark circle in the center blocks out the star; the planet is the bright spot to the right. 🌟🌚
