"We can't directly see other terrestrial planets, but
now we can study their dusty fossils," he added. The dust most likely
came from an asteroid belt in which dusty smash-ups occur relatively
frequently, about every 1,000 years. According to the
astronomers , it is possible a giant comet, almost as big as Pluto, got knocked
into the inner solar system and is slowly boiling away, leaving a trail of
dust. Please connect to the website several minutes

WASHINGTON, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has
spotted what may be the dusty spray of asteroids banging together in a belt
that orbits a star like our sun. There are two other known distant
asteroid belts, but they circle younger, more massive stars.

detect planets as small as a few Earth masses, is scheduled to launch in 2011.spitzer.

While this new belt is the closest known match to our own, it is not a
perfect twin. If our solar system had a belt this dense , its dust would light up
the night skies as a brilliant band.
The alien belt is also much closer to its star. Similarly, an unseen planet the size of Saturn
or smaller may be marshalling the star's rubble. (NASDAQ:SVNT) an emerging specialty

They are littered
with the rocky scraps of failed planets, which occasionally crash into each
other, kicking up plumes of dust.
"Because this belt has more asteroids than ours, collisions are larger and
more frequent, which is why Spitzer could detect the belt," said Dr." Future observations of the star using Spitzer and
ground-based telescopes are expected to conclude whether asteroids or comets
are the source of the dust.

Only HD 69830 was found to possibly host an asteroid belt. Words such as "anticipate," "believe,"
"estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "will" and other similar
expressions help identify forward-looking statements, although not all
forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

One of NASA's future planet -hunting missions, SIM PlanetQuest, may
ultimately identify such a planet orbiting this star. This hypothesis came about when the astronomers discovered the dust
around the star consists of small silicate crystals like those found in comet
