This is the big astronomy story of the day, but it is simply not important compared to the possible discovery today of a planet around Vega. Vega is 25 lightyears from here, a mere 8 parsecs, and is approaching the sun so it will be here in 50 million years. Vega is already one of the brightest stars. There are going to be some changes in the 'hood. Dinosaur extinctions were just a warmup.
You're right! The story about Vega is very intriguing. I found
Structure in Dust Around Vega May Be Signature of Planet . The dust ring around Vega holds a myriad of new discoveries for astrophysicists. Kind of reminds me of William Blake's words:
"To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour."
