Illustration of the blue giant star HD 37974, in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Astronomers suspect that it is surrounded by a dusty disc, stretching for 60 times the distance of Pluto's orbit from the Sun (about 3, 000 astronomical units, or AU). The disc could be a remnant from planet formation, or the beginning of the planet-creation process. | |
