The Bat Shadow's "Flapping" (VIDEO) ESA/Hubble Information Centre This video is under embargo. Please login to access this video.

The star is believed to be surrounded by a warped, saddle-shaped disc with two peaks and two dips. A planet embedded in the disc, inclined to the disc's plane, may be causing this warping. As the disc rotates around the young star, it blocks the light from that star and casts a varying, "flapping" shadow on a distant cloud. Credit ESA/Hubble, K. Pontoppidan, L. Calçada, M.
