This image was taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys in October 2005 and provided April 4, 2006. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has photographed dense knots of dust and gas in our Milky Way Galaxy. This cosmic dust is a concentration of elements that are responsible for the formation of stars in our galaxy and throughout the universe. These dark, opaque knots of gas and dust are called 'Bok globules,' and they are absorbing light in the center of the nearby emission nebula and star-forming region, NGC 281. NGC 281 is located nearly 9,500 light-years away in the direction of the constellation Cassiopeia. (AP Photo/NASA)
Ah yes, Ye old...."more evidence for theories, grants and tenure" line. Translated to working puke speak...."We don't have a clue, but with more money, we might someday get one..."

Cue the young earth creationists in 5, 4, 3, 2 . . .
Yup, they're getting real close to the answer of how dustballs form under the bed too.
I thought everything was formed in 6 days?
LOS ANGELES - Scientists think they have solved the mystery of how planets form around a star born in a violent supernova explosion, saying they have detected for the first time a swirling disk of debris from which planets can rise.
Dim witted people will observe that word and believe they did something actually. Speculation, assumption, guessing.
First time: A first time experience and they can determine a whole working hypothesis. The discovery is surprising because the dusty disk orbiting the pulsar, or dead star, resembles the cloud of gas and dust from which Earth emerged. Scientists say the latest finding should shed light on how planetary systems form
Resembles the cloud of gas: please where are those old family photos. Speculation assumption, guessing. "It shows that planet formation is really ubiquitous in the universe. It's a very robust process and can happen in all sorts of unexpected environments," said lead researcher Deepto Chakrabarty, an astrophysicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Ubiquitous=? One planet many formations.
Can happen, yea might happen could happen, should happen, thought to happen. Speculation, assumption, guessing. Using NASA's infrared Spitzer Space Telescope, MIT scientists observed bright radiation released by a disk of rubble around a young pulsar 13,000 light years from Earth. The pulsar was once a giant star that collapsed in a supernova explosion about 100,000 years ago.
The farthest man can accurately measure from earth is about 20 light years some will say 100, this is all due to the angle the earth makes in the rotation around the sun which would be about 1 degree when measured 6 months apart, in those kind of distances it would be like looking down a straight line, it would not even resemble a triangle.
Chakrabarty said the debris disk most likely formed
Scientists have long believed
That is an out right lie they have only believed recently, many scientist were Christians. Even many scientist are and were Christians today yet they do not stand up for Jesus because it goes against the flow of worldly thinking.
Does this mean that black holes are the Universe's Dust Busters?
