Fomalhaut
Brightest star in the southern constellation Piscis Austrinus and the 18th-brightest star in the night sky. It is 25 light years from the Sun, with a true luminosity 13 times that of the Sun.
Fomalhaut is one of a number of stars around which IRAS (the Infra-Red Astronomy Satellite) detected excess infrared radiation. This comes from a region of solid particles around the star that has now been imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. This material may be a planetary system in the process of formation.
