This artist's conception provided by NASA compares a hypothetical solar system centered around a tiny sun, top right, to a known solar system centered around a star about the same size as our sun, bottom right. Astronomers peering through ground and space-based telescopes have discovered what they believe is the birth of the smallest known solar system. Scientists found a tiny brown dwarf, or failed star, less than one-hundredth the mass of the sun surrounded by what appears to be a disk of dust and gas. (AP Photo/NASA, JPL-Caltech)
