Carol Grady said : "We basically put a fist over the star," "It's exactly like walking down the beach at sunset when you're trying to see — Is that your friend who's got the ice creams you wanted? — so you just stick your hand out and block the light and improve your contrast"

Carol Grady explained : "These observations suggest that water-bearing planets might be rare around red dwarfs because all the smaller bodies transporting water and organics are blown out as the disk is excavated,"

Carol Grady said : "The fast dissipation of the disk is not something I would have expected," "Based on the observations of disks around more luminous stars, we had expected disks around fainter red dwarf stars to have a longer time span. In this system, the disk will be gone before the star is 25 million years old"
