A long time ago—roughly 4.5 billion years—our sun and solar system formed over the short time span of 200,000 years. That is the conclusion of a group of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists after looking at isotopes of the element molybdenum found on meteorites. The mat...
D Asteroids (小行星) are believed to have formed early in our solar system's history -about 4.5 billion years ago -- when a cloud of gas and dust called the solar nebula(太阳星云)collapsed and formed our sun and the planets. By visiting these near Earth objects to study the material th...
The Solar System formed 4.568 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a region within a large molecular cloud composed of hydrogen, helium, and small amounts of heavier elements fused by previous generations of stars. As the region that would become the Solar System (known as the ...
there" beyond the orbit of Neptune, and there could be many more waiting to be discovered. Their existence will tell planetary scientists a lot about conditions in that part of the solar system and give clues to how they formed some 4.5 billion years ago when the solar system was very ...
In essence, this theory states that the Sun, the planets, and all other objects in the Solar System formed from nebulous material billions of years ago. Originally proposed to explain the origin of the Solar System, this theory has gone on to become a widely accepted view of how all star...
The rings are made of ice and rock and scientists are not yet sure how they formed. The gaseous planet is mostly hydrogen and helium and hasnumerous moons. Related:How far away is Saturn? Uranus: The tilted, sideways planet in our solar system ...
Solar System Formation The solar system is located in one of the spiral arms of theMilky Way galaxy. It was born about 4.5 billion years ago when a cloud of interstellar gas and dust collapsed. Most of the material was pulled toward a central point: nearly all of the solar system’s mas...

The general prevailing theory is that our solar system formed billions of years ago near a supernova. But the new scenario instead begins with a giant type of star called a Wolf-Rayet star, which is more than 40 to 50 times the size of our own sun. They burn the hottest of all stars...
