A team using the Hubble Space Telescope has imaged circumstellar disk structures (CDSs) around three stars similar to the sun. The stars are all G-type solar analogs, and the disks themselves share similarities with our Solar System's own Kuiper Belt. Studying these CDSs will help us better understand their ring-like structure, and the formation of solar systems.
