Why are our solar system planets tilted: These warped exoplanet-forming disks may offer clues

Why are our solar system planets tilted: These warped exoplanet-forming disks may offer clues

The origin of the differing tilts in the orbits of the planets in our solar system may have been revealed through the discovery of subtle warps spotted in many planet-forming disks around young stars. A major observing program with ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array), called exoALMA, has surveyed 15 planet-forming, or protoplanetary, disks in detail. In particular, astronomers led by …
