Exoplanet discovered in protoplanetary disk around Elias 2-24

Astronomers have discovered a young exoplanet still embedded in the gas and dust disk of its host star, Elias 2-24, located 450 light-years away. The finding provides direct evidence of planet formation within a protoplanetary disk, offering a rare observational window into early planetary evolution. The discovery is based on imaging or transit data, but details on the detection method and planet properties remain limited.
