SYSTEM FOUND WHERE PLANETS MAY ORBIT BACKWARD

[Sonia]

Astronomers studying a disk of material circling a still-forming star

inside our Galaxy have found a tantalizing result -- the inner part of the

disk is orbiting the protostar in the opposite direction from the outer

part of the disk.

ain't that always the case the more the scientists learn themore questions it throws up?

as Iunderstand it Stars and planets, scientists believe, are formed when giant clouds of gas and dust collapse. As the cloud collapses, a flattened, rotating disk of material develops around the young star. This disk provides the material from which planets form. The disk and the resulting planets rotate in the same direction as the original cloud, with the rotation speed increasing closer to the center, much as a spinning figure skater spins faster when they draw their arms inward.

with this young protostar different properties seemingly exist
