To find out what makes us different, the team devised a model of the solar system drawing on the latest astronomical research.

They ran the simulation hundreds of times, resulting in a solar system very much like ours, including the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, stable orbits for the inner planets, accurate mass for Mars (which is often overestimated in other models), and Kuiper belt objects out past Neptune. .

We’ve seen similar structures in younger stars many light years away (like the star HL Tau below), so this is possibly a common occurrence in solar system formation. .

To better understand the history of our solar system, it will be necessary to observe as many others as possible
