That is the 1 million Euro question. We are currently just exploring what processes drive the formation and evolution of other solar systems, and what we can learn from this about our own solar systems (and Earth’s!) history. We think that many other stars have exoplanets around them but ...
their satellites, and numerous small bodies, including asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. An estimated 99.85 percent of the mass of our solar system is contained within the Sun, while the planets collectively make up most of the remaining 0.15 percent. The planets, in order of their distance f...

TWO papers under the title "Gravitational Theory JL of Planetary Rotation", and "A New Theory of Planetary Formation", by J. Miller, have just appeared (J. Brit. Astro. Assoc., 52, 5 and 6, June and July 1942). Miller shows that a spherical body or a loose agglomeration of ...
Five planets set to line up in the dawn sky Mercury, Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune and Saturn will put on a celestial show. By Nilima Marshall, PA Science ReporterJune 16, 2023 at 2:47am BST Ancient meteorites provide ‘ground-breaking insight’ on formation of Jupiter The objects hold clues ...
Not all astronomers and planetary scientists agreed with the definitions, with some seeing them as limiting the number of planets and others finding them incomplete and confusing. Certain astronomers stressed the importance of considering the context for understanding the solar system’s formation and ev...
beyond the orbit of Neptune but including a portion of the orbit of Pluto. (One astronomical unit is the average distance from Earth to the Sun—about 150 million km [93 million miles].) Just as asteroids can be regarded as rockydebrisleft over from the formation of the inner planets, Pl...
Mysterious Kuiper Belt Object May Hold Secrets To Planet Formation All four major planets are visible after dark in August. The hardest part of summer may be finding peaches THE DWARF PLANET Ceres is the largest worldlet inhabiting our solar system's Main Asteroid Belt, where a myriad of small...
Forming the cores of giant planets from the radial pebble flux in protoplanetary discs The formation of planetary cores must proceed rapidly in order for the giant planets to accrete their gaseous envelopes before the dissipation of the proto...

We explore an extremely simple dynamical model for planet formation, in which planets grow in mass at a prescribed rate without orbital migration or dissipation. We develop an analytic version of this model for two-planet systems in two limiting cases: the planet mass grows quickly or slowly ...
