Planetesimal asteroids in the early solar system
Solar system formation. Artwork of asteroids (planetesimals) in the early solar system about 4.7 billion years ago. The planetesimals lie in an interstellar cloud (nebula) of gas and dust that surrounds the Sun. The solar system was formed when this nebula contracted due to gravitational forces; this process was possibly triggered by shock waves from a nearby exploding star (super- nova). The planets were formed by a process called accretion in which dust particles collided and to form planetesimals. These in turn attracted dust, gas and other planetesimals by gravitational attraction to form larger bodies

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library takes us back in time, approximately 4.7 billion years ago, to witness the formation of our early solar system. The print showcases a mesmerizing interstellar cloud or nebula composed of gas and dust enveloping the Sun. Within this celestial tapestry lie planetesimal asteroids - the building blocks of planets. The birth of our solar system was initiated by the contraction of this vast nebula due to powerful gravitational forces. It is believed that shock waves emanating from a nearby supernova explosion may have triggered this process, setting in motion an extraordinary cosmic dance. Accretion, a fundamental mechanism at play during these primordial times, led to the creation of planetesimals through collisions between tiny dust particles. These growing bodies then began attracting more dust, gas, and other planetesimals through their own gravitational pull, gradually forming larger entities. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring artwork, we are reminded of the intricate beauty and complexity involved in planetary formation. Each brushstroke represents countless eons of cosmic evolution culminating in the birth of our very own home within the universe. Science Photo Library's stunning depiction invites us to ponder on humanity's place amidst such grandeur while igniting curiosity about our origins and what lies beyond our familiar skies.
