Zooming in on an infant solar system: For the first time, astronomers have observed solar systems in the making in great detail


Like a raindrop forming in a cloud, a star forms in a diffuse gas cloud in deep space. As the star grows, its gravitational pull draws in dust and gas from the surrounding molecular cloud to form a swirling disk called a "protoplanetary disk." This disk eventually further consolidates to form planets, moons, asteroids and comets. (Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech)

In a far-away region of the galaxy, a planet is learning the lesson that Icarus taught the ancient Greeks thousands of years ago.
A planet known as Wasp-12b is passing so close to its parent star that it is being roasted and ripped apart in an extraordinary display of celestial violence.

Here is the problem: everywhere we look on Earth, there is life. Microbes multiply in the highest clouds; bacteria cling to Saharan desert dust as it blows across the Atlantic; millions of viral particles dance in a droplet of seawater.
