Astronomers have developed a fascination with...space hamburgers.
Celestial objects that resemble hamburgers are often edge-on views of infant planetary systems. This one, "Dracula's Chivito," seems to be creating a giant set of planets, 40x the size of our solar system.

This space hamburger is called Gomez's Hamburger (or "GoHam"). It's another big one, 20x the size of the solar system; within it, astronomers can track carbon & sulfur molecules that trace the planets forming within.
(This one's an illustration.)

In case you're wondering about the name "Dracula's Chivito": One researcher who studied the object is from Transylvania, the other from Uruguay. A chivito is a Uruguayan steak sandwich.
