In this artist's conception, a possible newfound planet spins through a clearing in a nearby star's dusty, planet-forming disc. This clearing was detected around the star CoKu Tau/4 by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Astronomers believe that an orbiting massive body, like a planet, may have swept away the star's disc material, leaving a central hole.

What they found coincides with the brief description of planet formation as described in the book of Genesis regarding earth's own formation. According to the data scientist gathered from the disk surrounding the star system CoKu Tau 4 in the Taurus constellation , planets like the Earth are formed from leftover waste and debris from their central star. Planets form inside a proto-planetary disc , start
