Assessment of rare 'teenage' planetary system deepens understanding of cosmic evolution
Planetary systems such as our solar system take hundreds of millions of years to evolve. Since humanity has only existed for a sliver of that time, astronomers have only observed planetary systems at birth or, more often, long after they have settled into adulthood.
