Love this one. The X you see in the center is a real feature of some disks. It’s associated with a bar feature, which we’ve seen in some face-on disks on this feed. The bar “buckles” and the orbits rise up and out of the disk on both sides. Edge on, it can make a (sometimes faint) X shape. 🔭

Very cool. What is a “bar feature?“. I haven’t come across that term before
