I usually don’t do gee-whiz science, but this one is too good to pass up. In our book "Universal Cycle Theory: Neomechanics of the Hierarchically Infinite Universe" Steve and I emphasized Descartes' Vortex Theory.[1] Vortices form when macrocosmic pressures force small microcosms to be pushed toward large ones, with the intervening space providing protection from the onslaught of the macrocosm.  The rotation occurs because collisions are never perfect—there always are glancing blows, forcing both the large microcosm and the small microcosm to rotate on their axes. This occurs throughout the infinite hierarchy, from the largest galaxy cluster to the tiniest aether duo.[2]

And so, I was especially interested in seeing what appears to be a picture of the birth of an exoplanet. Normally, the associated star is so bright that such planets cannot be seen easily. Although there are 4,260 exoplanets, this seems the first to be little more than a rotating dust cloud. But through a special technique in which the parent star’s light was blocked, the photo could be taken. This appears to be a magnificent confirmation of Descartes’ Vortex Theory:[3]
