The yellow star is slightly bigger as our Sun. Around it is the most dusty environment ever found. The star, which isn't very young any more, probably has already formed a planetary system. Less than 1000 years ago there occured a crash between two large chunks of rock or even planets in about 1 AU distance of the star. The dust is the consequence of this crash.
