A solar system the way it looks in an early fase. The planet and its moon on the foreground are continually bombarded with flying rocks and cosmic dust. The parent star at right is beginning to shine at full power. It will blow away all the dust, wich is yet rotating around the planet. The super comet at left is just one of the many comets in this young solar system.
