Astronomy - Origin of the Solar System

Explore the origins and formation of our solar system in this comprehensive 90-minute video lecture series. Delve into the composition and most abundant elements of the solar system, learn methods for determining its age, and understand the process of element formation. Examine the solar nebular theory, protoplanetary disk, and the development of the proto-sun. Investigate the frost line concept, protoplanet formation, and the evolution of Jovian planets. Study early and late planetary migration, the Late Heavy Bombardment period, and consider whether our solar system is unique. Conclude by learning about exoplanet detection methods, including the wobble and transit techniques, to gain a thorough understanding of solar system origins and planetary discovery.
