A distinctive twist in the disk of gas and dust surrounding a newly formed star likely indicates that a new planet is currently forming in the system. This discovery by researchers in France, Belgium, USA and Taiwan, led by Anthony Boccaletti at PSL University’s Paris Observatory, makes them the first astronomers to witness such an event.
The article includes an image of the "gas and dust" about a new star, including a squiggly light between 4 and 13 times larger than Jupiter.
Plenty of light but I see no mention of photons.
