Image of the young gaseous protoplanetary disc around TW Hydrae. The disc is seen face-on and the central star has been blacked out. At ∼80 AU there appears to be a ring of reduced surface brightness in the disc which could be caused by a gap in the disc (presence of a planet) or an unresolved spiral arm. HST/NICMOS image taken at \( \lambda = 1.71 \mu m \).
