Astrophysicists led by a team from Trinity College Dublin have—for the first time—imaged a large number of exocomet belts around nearby stars, and the tiny pebbles within them.

The crystal-clear images show light being emitted from these millimeter-sized pebble within the belts that orbit 74 nearby stars of a wide variety of ages.

In these regions, it is so cold that most compounds, including water, are frozen as ice.
