New hypothesis about the solar system

New research results are challenging the current hypothesis about the formation of the solar system, which suggests that a supernova explosion has triggered everything.

Experts from the University of Chicago (USA) lead the study of meteorites to show that the 60-isotope isotope, a sign of a supernova explosion, has a low content, not as abundant as previous studies.

Some astronomers have made quite an interesting hypothesis: It was the shockwave from a nearby supernova explosion that triggered the formation of the sun, by creating areas of dust clouds to Star embryo formation.

'If you have a high iron content in the solar system, it is evidence of the presence of a supernova explosion , ' said Space.com, professor of celestial physics.

However, Professor Dauphas and co-researcher Haolan Tang said that the results of the analysis were completely different from previous studies, and that they may not have been completely separated by experts. substance in meteorite samples, resulting in inaccurate results.

Both experts argue that low iron isotope content of 60 may be due to the long-term accumulation of this substance from countless remnants of past stars, not by some supernova explosion. in the adjacent area.
