    . The system [the planet resides in] includes comets, orbiting gas clouds, and an enormous debris disc that in our solar system would extend from Neptune’s orbit to nearly 2,000 times the distance from the Earth to the sun.

Assuming I didn't make a mistake, that's 30 au or 93964030 of our earths stacked on top of eachother. Damn.
