Planet-forming Disk Discovered Orbiting Twin Suns

Published on Wednesday, 10 June 2009 06:00 from ScienceDaily

Astronomers have announced new images that clearly reveal the presence of a rotating molecular disk orbiting the young binary star system V4046 Sagittarii. The SMA images provide an unusually vivid snapshot of the process of formation of giant planets, comets, and Pluto-like bodies. The results also confirm that such objects may just as easily form around double stars as around single stars like our Sun.
