a disk of debris around a star.
The following abstract was taken from the site:
'Astronomers have spotted a disk of dust and ice ringing a young Sun-
like star 165 light years away. The icy signature of the disk and the
collisions between bodies inferred to be taking place there suggest it
is similar to the Sun's Kuiper belt, a disk of small icy bodies that
extends beyond Neptune."
