"Evidence that a cometlike object with a diameter of at least 100 kilometers fell into a massive, very young star
has been obtained by a team of astronomers at Penn State using the 9.2-meter Hobby-Eberly Telescope at the
McDonald Observatory in Texas. "This discovery is significant because this is the youngest star ever found with
this kind of infall of a cometlike body," says Jian Ge, assistant professor of astronomy and astrophysics and
the leader of the team."
