Ancient meteorite grains indicate strong magnetic field in early Solar System
Science Daily1 min read91 words
Ancient grains inside one of the oldest known meteorites have revealed the presence of a surprisingly strong magnetic field during the solar system’s first 200,000 years, indicating a powerful force at work in the system’s earliest epoch.
The discovery suggests that magnetism operated alongside gravity to help transform a vast cloud of gas and dust into the Sun and the surrounding planetary disk, providing new insight into the mechanisms that built the solar system.
The findings indicate that magnetism and gravity together shaped the formation of the Sun and planetary disk.
