At that age, it is probably still surrounded by an envelope of the cosmic debris, consisting of dust and gases, out of which all stars as well as their families of planets are apparently formed. IRAS'S sensors indicated that the temperature of this free-floating matter was a chilly -300° F, about the same as that of Saturn's innermost rings, which are made of small chunks of matter. Further calculations showed that...
