Astronomers have found the youngest still-forming solar system yet seen, an infant star surrounded by a swirling disk of dust and gas more than 450 light-years from Earth in the constellation Taurus. In this artist\'s conception of infant solar system, the young star pulls material from surroundings into rotating disk (right) and generates outflowing jets of material (left).
