This illustration depicts super-Earth LP 890-9 c, which orbits a red dwarf star around 98 light-years away from Earth. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Deep inside super-Earths—rocky planets with masses between 1 and 10 times that of Earth—high pressure can cause familiar minerals to take forms rarely seen on Earth. Understanding more about the temperature and pressure conditions in which these phases are reached could help researchers learn more about how planets evolve.

Deep inside super-Earths—rocky planets with a mass anywhere between 1 and 10 times that of Earth—high pressure can cause familiar minerals to take forms that are rarely seen on Earth. Understanding more about the temperature and pressure conditions under which these phases are reached could help researchers learn more about how planets evolve. One such mineral is magnesium orthosilicate, or Mg2SiO4, one of the major building blocks of rocky planets.
