Ceramic chips inside meteorites hint at wild days of the early solar system
Analysis by UChicago scientists reverses earlier findings, suggests large temperature swings A new analysis of ceramic chips embedded in meteorites suggests the formation of our solar system was not as quiet and orderly as we once thought. A new study from University of Chicago scientists builds evidence that the baby solar system likely witnessed wild temperature swings and changing conditions—contradicting the decades-old theory that the solar system had gradually and steadily cooled following the formation of the Sun. Published Jan. 6 in Science Advances, the stud...
