The pattern of dust distribution around a host star also can tell astronomers something about the potential planets in a star system. (sciencedaily.com)
Other stars had different dust distributions: nothing far away or very close, but huge amounts of bright, warm dust in their habitable zones. (sciencedaily.com)
The latter warm dust distribution implies that there are significant star - formation activities in the entire bar filled with molecular clouds. (arxiv.org)
