A collage of astronomical objects against a black background, not to scale, from left to right: observation of a planet-forming disk, showing red-orange concentric circles at an angle; an asteroid with shape similar to a cube with rounded corners and appearing grey; a piece of meteorite cut in half, exposing a flat polished surface; a half-moon in the distance; planet Mars; a small slice of planet Earth.
