International astronomers have for the first time witnessed the birth of a planetary system beyond Earth's sun that could one day resemble our own.

What comes after: the slow unraveling of the solar system across cosmic time The death of the sun marks the end of the solar system as we know it, but not its immediate obliteration.

“Comparison with condensation models with rapid grain growth and disk structure models suggests the formation of refractory solids analogous to those in our Solar System,” McClure said.

But according to theoretical models, its carbon monoxide ice should have been sublimated by the sun’s rays when the object was even farther out in the solar system.
