Early Earth
We're going back several billion years here. The planet Earth had already started to form, when it was hit by a
gigantic protoplanet roughly three times the mass of present-day Mars. As a result,
debris was blown into Earth orbit. Some of the
debris ...

Super Earth
This is Gliese 581 c, one of three planets orbiting the star Gliese 581. Gliese
581 c has garnered much attention because it is very small compared to virtually all
other known exoplanets to date, at only 1.5 times the radius of the Earth and five ...
