PDS 70, my beloved.

For those who don't know, only PDS 70b and c are the exoplanets directly imaged which are still embedded inside thier nascent protoplanetary disk. For most other planets, the disk gas has mostly been cleared/dissipated/accreted.

For those who are more interested you can refer to the detection papers for both:

PDS 70b: https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/pdf/2018/09/aa32957-18.pdf

PDS 70c: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-019-0780-5
