Astronomy / Space Interesting article about the weirdness of our Solar system
- Thread starter metatheurgist
- Start date
I don't know - I am pretty big fan of mediocrity principle, yet here it is suggested that the reality might be different. I am still inclined to think that, with our current methods and technology, it's simply easier to detect big exoplanets close to their stars, or in highly elongated orbits, than the Earth-sized and smaller rocks somewhere inbetween. Oddity this article is talking about may be arising from there?
Also, idea of tumbling Jupiter sounds a bit crazy to me. Once the massive planet has been formed in protoplanetary disk, it should be extremely hard to move it around.

Interesting reading, with beautiful pictures. In my opinion only one solution ... we must terraformer. Unless ...
