Time warp πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

At the MPIA in Heidelberg @mpi_astro today, Nienke van der Marel describing the reference science case for protoplanetary disks with the METIS mid-infrared instrument being built for the 39-m diameter European Extremely Large Telescope πŸ”­

The diagram she’s using to illustrate the stages of star & planet formation was made 30 years ago ✨

By me, when I was a staff member here at the MPIA πŸ™ƒπŸ‘΄

A woman standing in a planetarium talking to an audience with a picture projected behind her showing the four canonical stages of star and planet formation in graphical form.
