• Resumen

  • The article focuses on alternative views on the formation of the solar system as a result of analysis of meteors which suggest a more chaotic formation than older solar system models suggested. It commented on the discovery of meteors that are partially differentiated and harbored signs of an ancient magnetic field in the rock. It talks about the possible role of unstable aluminum isotopes called 26Al which could have heated planetesimals and eventually formed planets.
