UNIVERSE BEGINNING...

"The current scientific explanation of the formation of the solar system is based on information about the compositions of the sun and planets, as well as on observations of other regions of teh galaxy where star formation seems to be occurring. The solar system began as a vast region of gas and dust, perhaps the remnant of an exploding star, coalescing under the mutual attraction of gravity. All of the materials that make up the planets, moons and the sun were contained in this primordial material. The heaviest elements fell to the centers of planets as they formed, the lightest remained as atmospheres. The formation of planets resulted in very hight tmeperatures that sitll remain in their interiors." (WRESA Math + Science 1995)
