Artist's Impression -- A Different View

Caption

Another artist's impression of the HD 100546 system, this time viewed from further out. The inset shows the first image, with a planet that is still in the process of forming that could be boosting a transfer of material from the gas-rich outer part of the disk to the inner regions.
