Astronomers have discovered the “Eye of Sauron”

Scientists obtained the most detailed image of the star Fomalhaut, which is similar to the “Eye of Sauron” from the books of J. R. R. Tolkien.

The star Fomalhaut, or alpha of southern Pisces, located 25 light-years away and appeared about 440 million years ago.

This image, scientists have obtained a set of radio telescopes ALMA, located in Chile’s Atacama desert.

In fact, the image of the system of the star Fomalhaut is combined because the data of the radio telescope are shown in orange superimposed on a photograph taken in the optical range.

Scientists say that huge orange oval is the radiation coming from the star and the protoplanetary disk around it. And narrow ring, which is formed, presumably created under the gravitational influence of the planets of the system. Blue glow they received with the help of the Hubble telescope.
