Uncovering the History of Planet Formation Through the Interstellar Medium
The formation of planets within our solar system has long been a topic of interest and mystery. Recent research, however, has shed light on the history of planet formation, and a recent study published in the journal Nature Astronomy has finally revealed the role of the interstellar medium in the process.
The team of scientists from France and the United States used computer simulations to study the formation of planets from the interstellar medium, a gas and dust cloud that lies between stars. Their findings suggest that the interstellar medium plays an important role in the formation of planets, providing the material needed for the formation of planets and helping to shape the eventual planetary system.
