Researchers have discovered that a two-step formation process of the early Solar System can explain the chronology and split in volatile and isotope content of the inner and outer Solar System. An ...

Table 1 Pb–Pb isotope data and Canyon Diablo Troilite (CDT) model ages of the last leachates (L 7) and corresponding residues of the three interior fractions (no.s 1–3) from the 2364-B1 CAI. Figure 2: ...

The story of the birth of our solar system has been worn smooth through years of retelling. It starts billions of years ago with a black, slowly spinning cloud of gas and dust. The cloud collapses, ...

(Phys.org) —A combined team of researchers from Germany, Switzerland and the U.S. has found evidence of faster than thought core formation of planetesimals in our solar system. In their paper ...

Using a limited set of mathematical equations, a mathematical sciences professor said he has confirmed a 224-year-old math conjecture about the origins of our solar system, providing insights about ...

The study of a tiny grain of stardust – older than our solar system – is shining new light on how planetary systems are formed. The microbe-sized extraterrestrial particle, which originated from a ...

A new study published by University of Chicago researchers challenges the notion that the force of an exploding star caused the formation of the solar system. In this study, authors Haolan Tang and ...
