Around Fomalhaut, the interior of a ring that stretched about 230 km from the star was captured. The ring had been observed in 1983, but this is the first time its interior has been captured.

Through this, the research team found that the observed ring consisted of three debris fields, and that the ring closest to Fomalhaut was wider than the asteroid belt in the solar system. It was also discovered that the two inner rings are tilted 23 degrees away from everything around the star. This means that the rings are affected by the gravitational pull of other celestial bodies besides the stars. Therefore, the research team It is estimated that there are at least three planets the size of Uranus and Neptune orbiting Fomalhaut and are conducting research.
