A team of Japanese astronomers have spotted an explosion in deep space that is not only influencing the very star that triggered it, but also distorting the planet-forming disk surrounding it. The discovery suggests that if such explosive events are commonplace in young star systems, newborn stars and any planets that form around them may exist in environments far more …
