The Saturn-like enormous rings were made of gas and dust. 🧐 engineering
These rings played a vital role in the formation of our solar system and in the size and habitability of Earth.
The early sun's dust and gas rings may have stopped our planet from becoming a"super-Earth," according to the Rice University astrophysicists behind the new paper.
In their simulations, Izidro said the timing of pressure bump formation proved to be crucial in the formation of super-Earths. "By the time the pressure bump formed in [some] cases, a lot of mass had already invaded the inner system and was available to make super-Earths," he said."So the time when this middle pressure bump formed might be a key aspect of the solar system."
The researchers' modeling provides new insight into the very early formation of our solar system, and the model accurately reproduced known features of our solar system that were missed by other previous models, the researchers said. Soon, new data from the will provide further insight into the early composition of solar systems and will allow the scientific community to compare such models to distant approximations of the real thing.Just enter your email and we’ll take care of the rest:
