Asteroid belt orbiting a star. Computer illustration of a massive asteroid belt (diagonal,centre) in orbit around the star HD 69380 (bright,centre),with an alien planet in the foreground. HD 69380 lies 41 light-years from Earth in the constellation Puppis. Evidence for this possible asteroid belt was discovered by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope when it spotted warm dust around the star,presumably from asteroids smashing into each other | |
