1 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,700 ALMA Discovers Trio of Infant Planets around Newborn Star 2 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:19,020 Using a new planet-finding technique, astronomers have found convincing evidence of three planets orbiting an infant star. 3 00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:27,200 Two independent research teams used ALMA to identify disturbances in the young star’s gas-filled disc. 4 00:00:28,220 --> 00:00:34,900 They observed carbon monoxide throughout the disc and by analysing its motion... 5 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,900 ...they could see the clear influence of planetary bodies similar in mass to Jupiter. 6 00:00:43,620 --> 00:00:50,560 These planets are the first planets discovered by ALMA, bringing this instrument into the realm of planet detection. 7 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,820 Transcribed by ESO; Translated by —
