Five panel images of debris disks. Black dots obscure the stars at their centers to better reveal the debris. Two are round disks and the rest are seen at a tilt, edge on. The debris has the appearance of radiating from the stars with thin but visible rays.

This is a set of images from a NASA Hubble Space Telescope visible-light survey of the architecture of debris systems around young stars. Hubble's sharp view uncovers an unexpected diversity and complexity in the structures.
