protoplanetary disks arranged around a sun-like star TW Hydrae. The distance to it is 175 light years. Particular attention is attracted astronomers gap in the protoplanetary disk at the same distance from the star to which the earth is distant from the sun. Astronomers believe that there is formation of the planets similar to Earth. However, scientists can not predict, solid or gas will this planet.
Other gaps are located at distances similar distance from the Sun. Uranus and Pluto. These gaps, scientists also believe planets form.
Astronomers believe TW Hydra system corresponds to the solar system at the age of 10 million years. Therefore, the researchers plan to closely monitor this system, which will allow them to better understand the processes of formation of the solar system
