Scientists had long believed that strong magnetic fields may have been involved in the formation of our solar system. However, it is only recently that they could find physical evidence supporting this theory. An ancient meteorite is the bearer of this evidence. Approximately 4.6 billion years ago, just shortly after our sun had formed, the rotating disk of dust and gas surrounding the newly … [Read more...]
The Early Solar System Explained by Trapped Magnetic Fields
Important clues regarding how the early solar system evolved are provided by accurate laboratory measurements made of magnetic fields trapped in grains within a primitive meteorite. According to the newly made measurements, the shock waves, a type of propagating disturbance, travelling through dusty gases' cloud around the sun seems to have played a major role in solar system's evolution. One … [Read more...]
Half of Earth’s Water is Older than the Sun
Think about all the astronomical knowledge we produced during the last decades and keep this in mind: we are still in the early days of space research. The research domain is ridiculously vast, but what drives the endeavor is the challenge of breaking the dogmatic view of Earth as an exception. There are two main ways of providing data that can tell us if we are alone in the Universe. One is by … [Read more...]
