The solar system is made up of ... stones?

Royal London scientists have given the first geological evidence to prove previous theories, based on computer models and experiments on how rocks were created. how to form the solar system.

This study has demonstrated the hypothesis that the initial solid matter in the solar system is very light and porous, it is compressed into hard rocks during periods of intense transformation, and this is the foundation forming planets like the Earth today.

The rocks form the solar system.

Professor Phil Blan, head of the study, said the study is more compelling than previous studies because carbon chondrite stones were originally formed from chaotic nebulae.

The study suggests that this constant transformation has created initial particles that, over time, become adherent and eventually create small stones.

The researchers came to a conclusion after presenting a detailed analysis of a small piece of a carbon chondrite meteorite that is thought to belong to the meteorite belt between Jupiter and Mars.

It was formed during the prehistoric Sun when tiny particles of dust collided with another particle that would stick together, combining into blocks around larger particles (this is called a chondrule) of size. about a millimeter.

To analyze a carbon chondrite sample, the team used electronic dispersion technology, burning electrons in the sample.

They observed the results through a microscope to study the internal structure. This technique allows scientists to study the direction and position of particles as small as one micrometer around the chondule.

The research team also introduced a new method to calculate the amount of compression that the stone experienced since it was a simple, fragile structure.
