... For a long time we've known that planets form and live around stars. ... When a star is born, any leftover gas and dust forms a disc around it, similar to Saturn's rings. Within this disc, small dust grains made of rock sometimes form. ... Now, for the first time ever astronomers have spotted solid grains in the gassy disc around a 'brown dwarf' an object that is neither a planet nor a star. ... Astronomers didn't expect to find these solid grains around brown dwarfs for a number of reasons. ...

. This artistтАЩs impression shows the disk of gas and cosmic dust around the young star HD 142527. Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope have seen vast streams of gas flowing across the gap in the disk. These are the first direct observations of these streams, which are expected to be created by giant planets guzzling gas as they grow, and which are a key stage in the birth of giant planets. // Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/M.

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...
