GW Orionis: A Star System with Tilted Rings
The triple star system GW Orionis appears to demonstrate that planets can form and orbit in multiple planes. This is in contrast to our solar system, where all planets and moons orbit in nearly the same plane. GW Orionis has three prominent stars, a warped disk, and inner tilted rings of gas and grit. The featured animation characterizes the system from observations by ESO's VLT and ALMA telescopes.
