This work in progress is situated in the Orion Nebula, a luminous cloud of interstellar gas and dust about 1,500 light-years away. Its star is about 1 million years old—a baby, in astronomy terms.

If planetary formation times are correct, and the conditions in the Orion nebula are typical of stellar nurseries, then only one star in 10 is likely to form a planetary system, O’Dell says.

A total of 178 proplyds have been discovered so far in the Orion Nebula. That's potentially indicative of the births of 178 planetary systems beyond those that have already formed there.
