Astronomers have discovered hundreds of planets around the Milky Way, including rocky planets similar to Earth and gas planets similar to Jupiter.

Debris disks are found around stars that have shed their dusty, gas - filled protoplanetary disks and gone on to form planets, asteroids, comets, and other planetesimals.

If certain debris disks are able to hold onto appreciable amounts of gas, it might push back astronomers» expected deadline for giant planet formation around young stars, the astronomers speculate.

Astronomers realized that spinning disks of gas always form around the nucleus of a new star, feeding it matter and serving as an incubator for the development of planets.

During that decade, finding flattened disks of gas and dust around young stars became as routine as finding planets around mature stars.

Leftover gas from the formation of the sun may have persisted into the era of planetary precursors, Holland and his co-authors note, so the dual capture of solar gas in and around planets is plausible enough.

In this case the gas would come either from a wind from the star, or from a planet - forming disc of gas and dust around the star.

Ehrenreich and his team think that such a huge cloud of gas can exist around this planet because the cloud is not rapidly heated and swept away by the radiation pressure from the relatively cool red dwarf star.
