A gas disk tears apart like pizza dough, and each piece gives birth to a star. For the first time, the process was imaged with seven 'twins' simultaneously. This rewrites the textbooks on star birth: it was thought that only pairs formed this way, but it turns out—seven at once is possible.
🎯 Most stars live not alone, but in pairs or trios. But finding seven in one disk is like baking seven buns from one piece of dough. Astronomers saw such a tight neighborhood for the first time.
🎬 Science fiction loves worlds with multiple suns, like Tatooine or Pandora. The discovery shows that nature can light up seven suns at once in one system, bringing the boldest fantasies to life.
