The large disk of gas surrounding Fomalhaut is clearly visible in this image taken with the High Resolution Camera (HRC) of the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). The disk is not centred on Fomalhaut quite as predicted, hinting that the gravity of another body – perhaps a planet – is pulling it out of shape.
