New evidence supports supernova origin of solar system
Measurements of isotopic anomalies in meteorites have stimulated theoreticians to consider new models for the formation of the solar system. Several groups suggest that a supernova explosion was the trigger. Observational evidence for a supernova having triggered star formation provides support for this view.Measurements of isotopic anomalies in meteorites have stimulated theoreticians to consider new models for the formation of the solar system.
