T Cha

T Chamaeleontis, or T Cha, is a young star 350 light years from Earth.  It appears to have a planet that is still in the process of coming together out of the material in a dust disk around the star.  A chance for astronomers to look at planetary formation almost as it happens.

Oddly, "cha" is also Japanese for "tea".
