Beta Pictoris Revisited
Beta Pictoris, 50 light-years away, is surrounded by a disk of material and an inner clear zone the size of our solar system. This is strong evidence for planet formation around the star. Observations suggest the presence of comet-like bodies in its system. Beta Pictoris continues to be a key target for exoplanet research.
