![A false-color, submillimeter wavelength image of the protoplanetary disk around the star IM Lup showing dual rings of gas and dust. Astronomers for the first time have determined the vertical heights of both the dust and gas components in this and two other protostellar systems using multiwavelength datasets, finding that at large distances from the star they sometimes but not always have the same flaring profile.
