Planets forming around star HD 142527, illustration. These two planets, forming around the young star HD 142527, are pulling streams of gas inward toward them as they grow. Much of the gas then overshoots the planets and continues inward to the portion of the disk close to the star, where it can eventually fall onto the star itself. HD 142527 is around 800 light years from Earth, in the constellation of Lupus. | |
