Conditions in the early universe may enable rocky planets with water, which can be made much earlier than anticipated, potentially allowing life to start as soon as possible.

Astronomers studying the early universe believe that the formation of the planet did not begin until Supernova released enough heavy elements to create planeticimals, blocking rocky planets around the stars. Our Sun and its planets were born when the universe was about 9 billion years old, and the oldest known planet developed 1 billion year In the life of the universe.
