The video discusses the discovery of a potential planet orbiting three stars in the GW Ori system, which could indicate that planets are more common in the universe than previously thought. Researchers used computer simulations to hypothesize that a newborn planet might be responsible for a gap in the system's dust rings. Additionally, the video covers recent findings about Jupiter's Great Red Spot, where wind speeds have increased, a change observed thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope. These findings could help scientists understand the dynamics of Jupiter's storm and the formation of planets in complex star systems.
