Roughly 470 light years from Earth, in the constellation Taurus, there is a star system that looks uncannily similar to a younger version of our own solar neighborhood.
Not only does the system have a Sun-like star, called DM Tau, it has two dust rings that orbit at comparable distances to the asteroid belt and Neptune. All known planetary systems are built out of these dusty circles, which are called protoplanetary disks. Over millions of years, these huge clouds conglomerate into larger objects like asteroids and planets.
