BD+20 307 planetary collision, artwork C015 / 0773
BD+20 307 planetary collision. Artwork of planets colliding in orbit around the BD+20 307 binary system, located about 300 light years from Earth in the constellation of Aries. Unlike collisions early in the history of a planetary system, it is thought this one has taken place in a mature system, involving planets that may have been Earth-like and supporting life, as shown here. The collision would have destroyed all life, leaving a ring of dust glowing in infra-red that has been detected from Earth. The results of this research were published in 2008

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "BD+20 307 Planetary Collision" takes us on a journey to the BD+20 307 binary system, located approximately 300 light years away in the constellation of Aries. In this stunning illustration, we witness a catastrophic event unfolding before our eyes - two planets colliding in orbit around their parent star. Unlike early collisions that shaped planetary systems, this collision is believed to have occurred within a mature system. The planets involved may have once been Earth-like and supported life, making this cosmic catastrophe even more devastating. All forms of life were obliterated as these celestial bodies collided with tremendous force. The aftermath of such destruction is depicted by the glowing ring of dust visible in infrared light from our vantage point on Earth. This hauntingly beautiful remnant serves as a reminder of the immense power and violence present in the universe. Published in 2008, this research sheds light on the potential fate awaiting other planetary systems across galaxies. It highlights how seemingly peaceful orbits can transform into scenes of chaos and annihilation. Lynette Cook's masterful artwork captures both the awe-inspiring beauty and chilling finality associated with such cataclysmic events. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of our place in an ever-evolving cosmos where destruction and creation dance hand-in-hand throughout eternity.
