Solar disruption theory was one of several theories that emerged before the 18th century concerning the formation of the solar system. Solar disruption theory states that the collision of the sun with another stars caused debris to be ejected from its mass and these debris eventually became the planets. This theory was later discarded for the nebula theory of solar system formation. However there are some scientists that propose that it has some merit. The big question up until the 18th century

system consists of the Sun; the nine planets‚ 67 satellites of the planets and a large number of small bodies (comets and asteroids). The inner solar system contains the Sun‚ Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth and Mars. The planets of the outer solar system are Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus and Neptune. Mercury – Mercury is named after the messenger of the Roman gods. It is the smallest of the inner planets and the second smallest in the whole Solar System. It has a very weak magnetic field and – being the closest planet

Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer who provided many scientific insights that paved the way for later scientists. His explorations of the laws of motion and improvement of the telescope helped him further understand the universe and world around him. The two caused him to dispute the then current beliefs at the time that all things in the heavens revolved around the Earth. Galileo made history with his observations of the heavens. In 1610‚ he wrote a book revealing his observations‚ Sindereus

Salviati’s thesis in the excerpts of Galileo Galilei’s Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems‚ the second day‚ states that all motion is relative‚ and diurnal motion is simply relative to the earth‚ with an emphasis on Copernican heliocentrism. Salviati argues with propositions set forth by Simplicio and Sagredo concerning three questions‚ one in which the earth is movable or immovable‚ the second is whether there is a chance in making it movable‚ and lastly regarding what motion would occur

dense than water. Saturn spins faster than any other planet except Jupiter‚ completing a rotation roughly every 10 and half hours. The rapid spinning causes Saturn to bulge at its equator and flatten at its poles making it the flattest of the planets. The planet is 13‚000 km wider at its equator than between the poles. In Roman mythology Saturn was the father of Jupiter‚ King of the gods. This is interesting because Saturn and Jupiter are similar in so many respects‚ including size and composition

The universe is a vast and interesting place where there are many mysteries to explore and many adventures that we‚ as the human race‚ must partake upon. Many astronomers and scientists of all kinds have spent their time finding new discoveries and creating many new theories about different aspects of the universe. Some of these discoveries and theories include planetary accretion‚ the differences between inner and outer planets‚ the formation of planetary rings‚ how the asteroid belt got there‚

The discovery of the Trappist system helps build upon the fact of we are not alone in the universe. Trappist-1 includes a sun slightly larger than jupiter and seven orbiting planets‚ Most planets have sizes and masses comparable to the earth‚ and the size of the system is from mercury to mars. Trappist is located about 39 light-years away. It’s speculated that The planets of trappist are such a short
