On the other hand, we can't really predict the future of these systems with much certainty. |
Our data suggest that the planet-forming process may be hardier than previously believed, occurring around even the most massive stars. |
These planetary systems, if they do form and exist, are short lived because these massive stars explode as supernovae. So it's amazing that the raw material for planets could be found in such a hostile environment. |
We've discovered a new class of object, and we need to use Spitzer to measure the infrared spectra of a lot more of these objects to learn how unique they really are. |
