This illustration was commissioned for a press release by Richard Parker at Sheffield University in the UK. The research, which was published in Astrophysical Journal, concluded that the chance of finding Earth-like planets in their early stages of formation is much higher than previously thought. The image depicts an early rocky planet, still molten, in the process of completing its formation. | |
