Farther from the Sun than the snow line(currently between Mars and Jupiter) solid ice is abundant and may help in the accretion of smaller objects into the larger building blocks of planets. In SLIM we are studying the cohesion of aggregates during low velocity collisions depending on whether or not &#8211; and how much &#8211; water ice is mixed into the dust aggregate. This should help us understand the role played by water ice in the early stages of planet formation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 class=\"heading-underline\">Gallery<\/h2>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-653 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/slim\/screen-shot-2016-02-25-at-9-19-09-am\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2016\/02\/Screen-Shot-2016-02-25-at-9.19.09-AM-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail lazyload\" alt=\"Four images of a white spherical object being gradually crushed into powder on a dark surface.\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150\/150;\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/slim\/ctgcxp0ueaae3wy\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2016\/02\/CTGcXp0UEAAE3Wy-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail lazyload\" alt=\"A chalky white sphere rests on a folded blue-green paper with partial text visible, displaying surface texture and markings.\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2016\/02\/CTGcXp0UEAAE3Wy-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2016\/02\/CTGcXp0UEAAE3Wy-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2016\/02\/CTGcXp0UEAAE3Wy.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150\/150;\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/slim\/ctgadxawwaadf9t\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/physics\/microgravity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2016\/02\/CTGadxAWwAADf9T-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail lazyload\" alt=\"A blue-gloved hand holds a white spherical object covered in fine powder with metal containers in the background.\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150\/150;\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Snow Line Impact Mechanics is a project that George Hatcher has been working on in the lab.\u00a0The snow line is the distance from the Sun where water vapor condenses into solid ice.
