Why our current understanding of the solar system is being rewritten

Exploring Our Solar System - with Stuart Eves · 44:31 · Video: The Royal Institution · Watch at the source

In short: Since 1957, space exploration has provided a wealth of data that is now fundamentally challenging our core theories on how our celestial neighborhood formed.

In this talk, satellite-system engineer and astrophysicist Stuart Eves explores the evolution of stars and planets. While missions from the space age have answered many long-standing questions, they have also uncovered information that contradicts previous models of solar system formation.

Eves highlights the mysteries that remain unsolved despite decades of space-based telescopes and spacecraft exploration. The presentation provides a sophisticated look at the local neighborhood, moving beyond basic facts to address the complexities of cosmic evolution.
