The new discovery has turned the star of the Female Star (Vega in English) more and more like its twin stars Fomalhaut, nicknamed the lonely star, which had previously been unpredictable by astronomers.

They are now known to have 'warm' belts containing internal asteroids, and 'cold' rings filled with outer comets, similar to the solar system's asteroid belt structure and Kuiper. , according to Space.com, quoted experts from the University of Arizona (USA).
