Recently, researchers from the National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER) in Odisha, studied a unique triple-star system called GG Tau A.
About GG Tau A System:
It is a unique triple-star system that is located 489 light-years away from Earth.
The system is young- – only 1 to 5 million years old– – which makes it perfect for studying the early stages of planet formation.
Around these stars is a disk made of gas and dust, which is where planets begin to form.
