NASA Hubble Space Telescope is giving astronomers a rare look at a Jupiter-sized, still-forming planet. NASA shared an image of the exoplanet — a planet outside the Solar System on the official social media pages of Hubble telescope.

Called PDS 70b, the exoplanet can be seen feeding off material surrounding a young star. The Hubble is a joint project between NASA and European Space Agency.
