The unique spiral structure spotted by the world's most expensive ground telescope (which has baffled scientists with its first picture)

The unique spiral structure spotted by the world's most expensive ground telescope (which has baffled scientists with its first picture) | Mail Online: "A unique spiral structure encircling a dying star has been captured by scientists for the first time.

The bizarre spiral structure was spotted by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope, and is believed to be a hidden companion star orbiting the star.

The spectacular picture is one of the first to come from the world’s most expensive ground-based telescope which produces images ten times sharper than Hubble."
