The Solar System is our vast and diverse planetary system, which houses eight large planets, including one which gave rise to life. While humanity was born too late to witness the events that occurred at the birth of the Solar System first-hand, by peering into the systems of others stars, we are starting to piece together the events that unfolded. Today, we shall explore the culmination of these decades of research, as we tell the story of the birth of the Solar System.
