PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - Astronomers said Wednesday they have spotted evidence of two mega solar systems — giant stars enveloped by what appear to be huge disks of planet-forming dust.
Cloudy disks around stars are believed to represent current or future planetary systems. Our sun is surrounded by the Kuiper Belt, a disk containing dust, comets and other bodies.
Astronomers said the latest findings were surprising because such massive stars are thought to be inhospitable to the formation of planets.
