Their birth is ‘secret’: not visible at optical wavelength. Infrared telescopes can penetrate through these clouds and witness the first signs of life from a protostar.

The sun and our planets formed concurrently 4.567 billion years ago. Extrasolar planetary systems can be similar to or different from the solar system. Dust plays a decisive role in the formation of the planets. The lifetime of protoplanetary disks, the birthplaces of planets, is a few million years. Debris disks Beta-Pictoris Age: 100 Myr (some say 20 Myr) Dust is continuously replenished by collisions between planetesimals. Disk is very optically thin (and SED has infrared excess).
