Astronomers just caught a celestial sneak peek at how solar systems are born, and it starts with something delightfully small: space pebbles. Around two young stars, DG Tau and HL Tau, tiny grains are gathering in vast pancake-like clouds called protoplanetary discs, stretching to Neptune-like distances. These pebbles are nature’s building blocks, slowly clumping into
