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

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
