Planet-forming disks are believed to be short-lived feature around most, if not all, young stars.

They provide raw materials for planets to form.

Most of these planetary nurseries typically last only about 10 million years.

Researchers at the University of Arizona have discovered that disks can grace their host stars much longer than previously thought.
