With the advent of super powerful and large array telescopes we can study the universe like never before.  In this video they are able to detect the forming of a potential solar system:

From ESO-Cast. A new image from ALMA, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, reveals extraordinarily fine detail that has never been seen before in the planet-forming disc around a young star. These are the first observations that have used ALMA in its near-final configuration and the sharpest pictures ever made at submillimetre wavelengths. The new results are an enormous step forward in the observation of how protoplanetary discs develop and how planets form.

Let’s see what this could look like in the video on page 2
