HR 4796A: A Recipe for Planets
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Two hundred and twenty light years from Earth, planets are forming around the binary star system HR 4796. One of the stars is surrounded by a dusty gaseous disk. This disk is the right size, age, and density for dust pellets to accrete surrounding matter. A hole in the disk's center indicates that increasingly larger condensates are colliding and sticking together, coalescing into moons and planets.
