Taking this latest meteorite research into account, Boss revisited his earlier models of shock wave - triggered cloud collapse, extending his computational models beyond the initial collapse and into the intermediate stages of star formation, when the Sun was first being created, an important next step in tying together Solar System origin modeling and meteorite sample analysis.

Previous modelling has shown that Jupiter and Saturn moved out of their initial orbits in the early solar system, scattering nearby objects.

They modeled an early solar system in which the gas that briefly surrounded the sun dragged Jupiter toward the sun, as appears to have happened to gas giants in most known exoplanetary systems.

This finding ends a 35 - year - old debate on the possible presence of curium in the early solar system, and plays a crucial role in reassessing models of stellar evolution and synthesis of elements in stars.

Researchers who model the early history of the solar system would like to know Phoebe's exact birthplace, but that's unlikely, Dalton notes: The outer planets migrated during that era and quickly scattered Kuiper Belt objects into new orbits.

``... we lack compelling scenarios leading to the origin of iron meteorites... Early solar system collisions have been called upon to excavate this iron [from the cores of the largest asteroids], although numerical impact models have found this task difficult to achieve, particularly when it is required to occur many dozens of times, yet not a single time for asteroid Vesta.»
