2. Tidal stripping:
- The gravitational pull of the passing star would
have been so strong that it would have, ripped material,
primarily hot gas, from the Sun’s surface.
Here’s how the encounter hypothesis unfolds
3. Fragmentation:
- The ejected materials, how a vast cloud of hot
gas, would have been unstapable and would have
fragmented into smaller clumps.
4. Planet Formation:
- As the hot gas cooled and condensed, these
fragments would have coalesced into larger bodies,
eventually forming the planets we see today.
Historical background
The Encounter Hypothesis, while not the
prevailing theory for planetary formation
today, has a rich history tracing back to
the 18th century.
“SEVERAL KEY
FIGURES
CONTRIBUTED TO ITS
DEVELOPMENT”
SEVERAL KEY FIGURES CONTRIBUTE
TO ITS DEVELOPMENT:
1. GEORGE - LOUISE LECLERC, COMTE
DE BUFFON (1749)
A renowned French naturalist, was one of the first to
propose a non-biblical explanation for the origin of
the Earth and the Solar System. In his monumental
work, Histoire Naturelle, he suggested that a comet
colliding with the Sun debris that eventually coalesced
into planets.
2. t.c chamberlin (1904)
These American astronomer, building on Buffon’s
ideas, proposed the Planetesimal Hypothesis. He
suggested that a passing star would have disrupted the
Sun, pulling out a stream hot gas.
3. James jeans (1917)
A British physicist and astronomers defined the
Encounter Hypothesis with a more detailed
mathematical model. He proposed that a close
encounter with another star would have created a tidal
bulge of the Sun, eventually leading to the ejection of
a filament of gas.
Supporting evidence
1. Planetary Rotation and the Same Direction
Observation: All planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun in the
same direction. This is not coincidence, and it suggest a common origin for
the planets.
Observation: The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are denser
than the outer planets ( Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). This suggest
differences in the materials that formed this planets.
