And the structure looks asymmetric. That means there are more stars on one side of the orbital plane than another. This makes us think it is not a plane so much as a stream of stars perhaps recently disrupted.

We have known for sometime that the young stars' orbits aren't randomly distributed. There is a preferred disk of young stars that contains 20-30% of the young stars in the region. But, in our new paper, we have found a second structure!
