Analysis by UChicago scientists reverses earlier findings, suggests large temperature swings
A new analysis of ceramic chips embedded in meteorites suggests the formation of our solar system was not as quiet and orderly as we once thought.
A new study from University of Chicago scientists builds evidence that the baby solar system likely witnessed wild temperature swings and changing conditions contradicting the decades-old theory that the solar system had gradually and steadily cooled following the formation of the Sun.

Science Advances, the study finds its answers in gifts from outer space. Because rocks on Earth are constantly pulled under tectonic plates, melted and reformed, they don’t offer much evidence for what our solar system looked like four and half billion years ago. Instead, scientists look to meteorites.

Cassidy Yang, a graduate student at Princeton University who was studying quantitative and computational biology, died in a car crash with her sister, Angel Yang, as they were driving from New York to Naperville, Ill. to visit their parents for the holidays. The sisters died on Dec. 5 in a crash in Ohio.
A graduate of the California Institute of Technology, Cassidy was scheduled to finish her doctorate at Princeton next May. The 26-year-old had spent the past few months working with scientists at Princeton to answer questions from the public about COVID-19.
