... Most models of star formation tell us that the formation of planets is a common process. We expect most stars to have planets orbiting them. Why then, has only a very few planets (less than ten by fall 2009) around other stars been seen directly? There are two main reasons for this: 1. The planet’s ...

Corvus (constellation)
Corvus is a small constellation in the Southern Celestial Hemisphere. Its name comes from the Latin word ""raven"" or ""crow"". It includes only 11 stars with brighter than 4.02 magnitudes. One of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. The four brightest stars, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, and Beta Corvi from a distinctive quadrilateral in the night sky. The young star Eta Corvi has been found to have two debris disks.
