Scientists have discovered a double star, which is surrounded by three of the protoplanetary disk

Ученые обнаружили двойную звезду, которую окружают три протопланетных дискаThe disks rotate at different angles relative to each other.

Scientists-astronomers from the Niels Bohr Institute (Denmark) have found that distance from Earth is 400 light years two new-born stars, around which revolve three protoplanetny drive.

About his discovery, they told the world in the edition of Astrophysical Journal Letters.

The sizes of the found celestial bodies comparable with the Sun. Around each star turns into a disc of dust and gas. The form this phenomenon is reminiscent of our Solar system. In addition, around them is another ring that intersects two other objects.

This finding contradicts the views of the astronomers, existing so far. It is believed that the planets that revolve around other stars – “Tatooine”, are found very rarely. From the first such opening in 2011, scientists found only eleven such facilities in the nine systems. With the help of terrestrial telescopes are very hard to see the data of a celestial body.

By the way, the finding is quite young, even “noviodunum” object. He began to form one or two hundred years ago and is now at the stage of growth.
