Portrait of an Infant Solar System
This infant solar system was discovered in the lonely outskirts of the Rho Ophiuchi dark cloud, a star-forming region 500 light-years from Earth. Enlarged in an infrared false-color portrait from the European Southern Observatory's Antu telescope, the dark dusty disk of planet-forming material lies edge-on. It neatly divides two small nebulae, which reflect light from a hidden, youthful central star. This circumstellar disk, nicknamed the "Flying Saucer", is about 300 astronomical units across.
In tropical astrology, 7 JUN 2002 falls under Gemini (♊). The sign's window runs from 05-21 through 06-20. Gemini is named for the twin stars Castor and Pollux, both bright enough to spot without a telescope. The Sun was crossing this region of the sky on 7 JUN 2002.
