Solar System's First Planets Were Made of Fire, Not Ice
Original: The Solar System’s First Planets Were Made of Fire, Not Ice
A new account of the Solar System's origins says the first planetary bodies formed in molten, fire-like conditions rather than from ice and cold material, as long assumed. The claim challenges the standard picture of early planet formation, in which icy building blocks beyond the frost line were thought to dominate. Details of the research and the reasoning behind it remain limited, and reactions from other scientists are not yet clear.
