NASA 's space-based Chandra X-ray Observatory and the retired Spitzer Space Telescope have discovered "danger zones" for planets that are forming around young stars.

The team found these treacherous regions by performing long-term observations of an object known as Cygnus OB2 .

The danger to forming planets in densely packed star clusters comes from high-energy ultraviolet and X-rays blasted out in excess by massive infant stars.
