The victors of the mass accumulation game emerged from the protoplanetary disc to find others in their vicinity. Their instinct tells them one thing: consume everything in their way. The oligarchic growth phase had begun. #ACelestialJournal #art #astronomy #space #SolarSystem #planet

The planets of HD 20794 (e Eridani, 82 G. Eridani) I multiplied their minimum masses by ~1.3 to account for their orbital inclinations (from debris disc). b (~3 Earth masses) is an airless rock. c (~4 ME) has CO2 atmosphere. d (~8 ME) is a sub-Neptune. #art #astronomy #space #exoplanet #planet

A modern dynamo at Triton as a consequence of its capture by Neptune - Nature Astronomy
Triton, Neptune’s largest moon, is presumed to be a trans-Neptunian object that was later captured by the ice giant. Thermal evolution modelling shows that the capture may have provided energy to gene...
