> An international team of astronomers have found evidence of ice and
> comets orbiting a nearby sun-like star, which could give a glimpse
> into how our own solar system developed.
>
> Using data from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), the
> researchers, led by the University of Cambridge, detected very low
> levels of carbon monoxide gas around the star, in amounts that are
> consistent with the comets in our own solar system.
