The nebula is clearly a planetary nebula, and the gas seen above composed the outer layers of a sun-like star only 10,000 years ago.

But a young sun-like star seems to have been spotted 750 light-years from Earth doing just that, as researchers have apparently discovered, according to PopSci.

And now we know ... what fraction of the sun-like stars harbour planets of different sizes, said Geoffrey Marcy, an astronomer at the University of California, Berkeley.

Since we aren't finding habitable planets just yet, we can at least target sun-like stars.

Dubbed "Kepler-10b," the recently-announced rocky planet roasts in an orbit far too hot for life, circling less than two million miles above its sun-like star.

They estimate that 23% of sun-like stars are circled by an Earth-like planet, 12% are orbited by more massive "super-Earths" and around 1.6% are circled by planets similar to the gas giant, Jupiter.
