Fine Art Print : Planet formation, early solar system
Fine Art Prints From Science Photo Library
Planet formation, early solar system
Planet formation in the early solar system, artwork. Early in the life of the solar system there was a large amount of debris orbiting in a disc around the newly-formed Sun. Mutual gravitational attraction (accretion) of particles formed asteroids, which then joined together to form larger bodies, eventually creating the planets. The Sun formed around 4.6 billion years ago

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the awe-inspiring process of planet formation in the early solar system. Billions of years ago, when our Sun was newly formed, a vast amount of debris encircled it in a magnificent disc. This swirling mass consisted of countless particles that were drawn together by their mutual gravitational attraction. As time passed, these tiny particles gradually accreted to form asteroids - celestial bodies composed primarily of rock and metal. These asteroids then embarked on an extraordinary journey as they continued to collide and merge with one another. Through this mesmerizing dance, larger bodies began to take shape, eventually evolving into the majestic planets we know today. The birth of our Sun occurred approximately 4.6 billion years ago, marking the beginning of this remarkable cosmic symphony. The intricate interplay between gravity and matter unfolded over eons within the protoplanetary disc surrounding our young star. In this stunning illustration from Science Photo Library, we are transported back in time to witness this pivotal stage in the evolution of our solar system. It serves as a testament to both the physical forces at play and the beauty inherent in nature's grand design. Let us marvel at this visual masterpiece that encapsulates not only scientific knowledge but also sparks curiosity about our place in the vastness of space.
