The paper itself [2] does have a map, although (understandably) not an artist&amp;#x27;s depiction. Most other sources covering the paper appear to have repurposed &amp;quot;ringed terrestrial planet&amp;quot; artwork, but I found one has an artist&amp;#x27;s rendition[3] to mollify myself.&lt;p&gt;1. &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;dinosaurpictures.org&amp;#x2F;ancient-earth#450&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;dinosaurpictures.org&amp;#x2F;ancient-earth#450&lt;/a&gt;
