The close pair of stars surrounded by a "mysterious dust"


Astronomers have discovered a curious disk of gas and dust surrounding a system of two stars, the origin of which scientists cannot explain the basis of the standard models of planetary evolution.

A binary star system (with a simple name of SDSS J0303 +0054) is composed of white and red dwarfs, separated by distance of about 700,000 kilometers, the distance between the two stars is a very small value.
