Open the way to form the solar system

Astronomers have found what they call the "holy grail", which helps explain how the solar system is formed.

A 'newborn' star has reached Earth experts' observations right after the pictorial, and this is the first time astronomers have witnessed this phenomenon.

The L1527 IRS is currently only one-fifth the mass of the sun, and it will also increase in size as the disk of the surrounding material accumulates on its surface.

The highest star is less than 300,000 years old, so young for the age of 4.6 billion years of our sun. It is located more than 450 light-years from Earth, in the constellation of Taurus.

John Tobin of the National Radio Astronomical Observatory (USA) in West Virginia said that it could even be younger, based on past speed of mass accumulation, at least 150,000 years old. If so, L1527 IRS belongs to the youngest group of celestial bodies ever discovered.

The new discovery provides a broken link in an effort to understand how these giant gas clouds collapse to form complete stars.

Normally, a star forms when the gas cloud collapses from within. The matter is drawn back into the center and the stellar embryo is centered between the disk of gas and dust.

After many millions of years, matter keeps accumulating on the star embryonic surface, creating energy. And in the case of L1527 IRS, 90% of its energy comes from matter that lands on the surface.

According to Tobin expert, the disk of material around the young star contains enough material to create seven Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, according to a Nature report.
