Scientists recently made an unexpected discovery while observing the formation of a massive young star, called MM 1a. They found the formation of a small star from dust surrounding MM 1a, in a similar way to how planets are born.
Stars form within large clouds of gas and dust in interstellar space. When these clouds collapse under gravity, they begin to rotate faster, forming a disc around them. It is in these discs that planets can form around low mass stars like our Sun.
Scientists named this small star as MM 1b as it is formed out of the gas and dust surrounding the larger MM 1a.
