Formation of Planets in a Protoplanetary Disk
The artist conception shows a newly formed star surrounded by a swirling protoplanetary disk of dust and gas. Debris coalesces to create rocky 'planetesimals' that collide and grow to eventually form planets. The results of this study show that small planets form around stars with a wide range of heavy element content suggesting that their ...

Protoplanetary Disk Formation
A dusty disk of leftover material from star formation surrounds a young sun in this animation. Tiny dust grains in the disk can build up layers of ice and other material over thousands of years, and eventually be swept up by forming planets. Credit: NASA-JPL, Robert L.
