Flight through the dust disc surrounding the star Beta Pictoris, ending close to a planet orbiting the star. Beta Pictoris is a young star some 63 light years from Earth. It was the first star to have a circumstellar dust disc imaged directly, in 1984, and in autumn 2009 this existence of this planet, Beta Pictoris b, was confirmed. The planet has a mass around nine times that of Jupiter, and orbits its star at a similar distance to that at which Saturn orbits the Sun.brRestrictions:
