- Indian astronomers discovered a unique triple-star system known as GG Tau A.
- It is located approximately 489 light-years from Earth.
- This region, known as a birthplace for young planets, features a protoplanetary disk—a swirling ring of gas and dust.
- The "mid-plane" of the disk’s temperatures were found to drop as low as 12 K to 16 K—far below the freezing point of carbon monoxide.
- The GG Tau A system is part of a triple-star setup, is estimated to be between 1 and 5 million years old.
