This image was taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys in October 2005 and provided April 4, 2006. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has photographed dense knots of dust and gas in our Milky Way Galaxy. This cosmic dust is a concentration of elements that are responsible for the formation of stars in our galaxy and throughout the universe. These dark, opaque knots of gas and dust are called 'Bok globules,' and they are absorbing light in the center of the nearby emission nebula and star-forming region, NGC 281. NGC 281 is located nearly 9,500 light-years away in the direction of the constellation Cassiopeia. (AP Photo/NASA)

A NASA image of the constellation Cassiopeia, in which scientists have spied a disk around a pulsar about 13,000 light-years from Earth, taken by the Spitzer Space Telescope. Planets outside our solar system might form, phoenix-like, out of the debris circling a dead star known as a pulsar, researchers reported on Wednesday after finding the makings for a planet near such a body.
