Feast your eyes, my friends, on this -- by far the most detailed image ever of a young star and its protoplanetary disk. Here you can see the young star HL Tau, which is only about one million years old, as dust and gas swirl around it, gradually forming into planets and asteroids. Believe it or not, a few billion years ago, this is what our very own Solar System would've looked like.
