When the solar system first took up the task of building solid bodies—such as planets, moons and protoplanets—it basically had a choice between two ingredients: heat-forged chondrules, which were millimeter-sized bits of rock, and matrix, a fine-grained, cold dust loaded with water ice and organic molecules. And from the get-go, the solar system chose fire.
Solar System's Formation: The Preference for Heat Over Ice
The article discusses the early formation of the solar system, highlighting the choice between heat-forged chondrules and cold dust for building solid bodies. This scientific exploration does not directly involve Iran but contributes to broader astronomical knowledge. Understanding planetary formation can have implications for Iran's scientific community and education.
