This illustration shows a young planet in its magma ocean phase. Terrestrial planets like Earth were entirely molten when they formed. It's possible that water was delivered to young planets by comets and asteroids during the magma ocean phase.

This infographic explains some of what's behind the UVEX mission. UVEX will focus on relatively nearby low-mass galaxies and their bright ultraviolet light. These same galaxies exist billions of light years away, but their light is red-shifted, meaning its now infrared light. The JWST and the Roman Space Telescope can see them. By examining the closer counterparts to these galaxies in UV, UVEX will complement the infrared observations from the other two telescopes. Image Credit: Caltech/Robert Hurt (IPAC-SElab)
