The nearby bright star Vega is surrounded by a surprisingly smooth, 100 billion-mile-wide disk of cosmic dust, confirming ...

The Vega disk stretches for 160 billion kilometers (100 million miles) and it is as smooth as you can get, bar a possible gap far from the star.

The Vega disk does have a subtle gap, around 60 AU (astronomical units) from the star (twice the distance of Neptune from the Sun), but otherwise is very smooth all the way in until it is lost in ...

The nearby star Vega, featured in the 1997 movie Contact, appears to have a smooth disk devoid of giant planets for reasons we can’t explain ...

The Vega disk stretches for 160 billion kilometers (100 million miles) and it is as smooth as you can get, bar a possible gap far from the star.

A joint Hubble and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) project to learn more about the dusty disk around the bright star Vega has found a surprising lack of planets.

Vega, located in the constellation Lyra, is the fifth-brightest star in the night sky. It is known to be surrounded a disk of particle debris that’s almost 100 billion miles (160 billion ...

The new study, to be published as two papers in The Astrophysical Journal, was based on a highly detailed look at Vega's 100-billion-mile-wide debris disk, which faces Earth.In the past, this disk ...

The Vega disk does have a subtle gap, around 60 AU (astronomical units) from the star (twice the distance of Neptune from the Sun), ...

Vega's circumstellar disk of dust, produced by cascading collisions between asteroids as well as comets shedding dust in their tails, was discovered in 1984 as an excess of infrared light coming ...
