Abstract:
Included in Rachel L. Smith’s companion article to “Comet Landing Makes History” was an article that offered new information about how planets form. What lent this new information was the discovery during the Rosetta Mission of HL Taurus, a protoplanetary system. Profiled also of Dr. Smith called “HL Tau” were the telescope used, the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), and H-Tau’s features, such as unusual oxygen chemistry.
