What is the name of the young, sun-like star around which astronomers have observed the earliest stages of rocky planet formation?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Astronomers have, for the first time, observed the birth of a new solar system and the early stages of rocky planet formation around a star named HOPS-315. This significant discovery was made using advanced instruments like the James Webb Space Telescope and ALMA. They detected crucial elements like silicon monoxide gas and silicate minerals in the disk surrounding the star, indicating early planetary formation. HOPS-315 is of particular interest because it resembles our Sun and provides insights into how Earth-like planets might commonly form across the universe.
