TW Hydrae is "only" 10 million years old (young compared to the estimated age of 4.5 billion years for our Earth) and is only 176 light-years away from us (close compared to the 91 billion light-years which are estimated as the diameter of our Universe). Astronomers have now observed signs that a new giant planet is in formation around TW Hydrae.
