The star V883 Orionis is basically a mass of gasses and elements surrounded by a disk like shape of space snow. This makes it unusual and unlike anything we have seen before. The star had a dramatic ...

An intriguing finding indicates the possibility of life outside our solar system.

Gaseous water has been detected in the planet-forming disk surrounding the star V883 Orionis (ALMA) using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. The discovery "supports the idea that ...

The revelation that Earth’s water may predate the sun challenges our understanding of the solar system’s history. Recent studies suggest that the water on our planet isn’t a product of the ...

Because semiheavy water can only form in cold temperatures—and not the high temperatures directly associated with star formation—its origins around V883 Orionis must date back to the molecular ...

The astronomers have confirmed the water around V883 Orionis has a very similar normal-to-heavy ratio to that of comets in our own solar system. Their work provides strong support for the idea that ...

A first look at a forming world Astronomers have got a view of the water-snow line around a star, which they call V 883 Ori, located in the Orion Nebula Cluster.

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, a powerful radio telescope in northern Chile, we discovered a large, warm proto-planetary disk around the Sunlike young star V883 Ori, about ...
