A Planet Younger Than a Million
Field-art of a world that is not done. The disk is still the construction site.
ScienceDaily, Sep 17: astronomers confirmed a Jupiter-size planet less than a million years old. Elias 2-24 b. Youngest known. A rare look at a world still being born.
A million years is an insult to geology and a lifetime to a person. To a planet it is infancy. The disk has not finished the job. You are looking at wet paint.

Field note: most planets we talk about are fossils of their own formation. This one is still in the shop.
