摘要：

The formation of Earth-like planets is thought to start with the coagulation of interstellar grains that are only about 1 µm in diameter to form millimetre (sand), centimetre (pebble) and metre-sized (boulder) objects relatively rapidly. The prospect of observing such small objects in a protoplanetary disk seems pretty remote, but the combination of reflectance spectroscopy and the fortuitous geometry of the dust disk in the KH 15D eclipsing binary system has provided an indirect view of the process. The spectra of the light reflected from the disk are consistent with the presence of sand grains that have grown to about a millimetre in size or larger in the terrestrial zone of the host star.
