New Samples Bring Convincing Evidence of Solar System Formation
Today, scientists have published new findings that are providing increasingly convincing evidence that samples brought back from the Apollo 17 mission in 1972 contain traces of solar particles. This marks an exciting development in our understanding of the composition of the solar wind, and the Sun’s influence on our planet. The findings are based on an innovative technique that uses extremely sensitive instruments to detect solar particles in the samples, suggesting that the particles have been present on Earth since the formation of the solar system. This groundbreaking research furthers our understanding of the relationship between the Sun and Earth, and could lead to more discoveries about the history of our Solar System.
