Red and near infrared wavelengths from the dust disk surrounding the star HR 4796A (masked in false-color image to make fainter disk visible) suggest the presence of complex organic molecules. The inner “hole” of the ring-shaped disk is big enough to fit our entire solar system and may have been swept clean of dust by orbiting planets. (Image: John Debes)
