This is more of a description about this mysterious sighting and its properties:

HD 100546 has a surface temperature of over 10,000 Kelvin (9,700ºC /17,540ºF) and emits a lot of ultraviolet light, which should disintegrate ice crystals, so it’s surprising to see ice crystals so close to the star. The discovery has important implications as scientists believe ice grains to be the precursors to the pebbles that evolve into fully-fledged planets.

This isn’t completely far fetched.  if you look at the kuiper belt and regions near the edge of our solar system it is made up of icy bits as well!  And at the same time, besides some unusual comets and planets like Pluto that are near there, scientists from Cal Tech even likely spotted a new planet in that region if you haven’t heard.

Stay tuned for more information on this one as well as the newly famed “planet x”.
