Scientists Found the Seeds of the First Solids in Space
About this episode
What if our solar system began with the ashes of ancient stars? In this episode, we explore new evidence showing that presolar stardust acted as the seeds for the first solid materials to form around the young Sun.
The discovery reshapes our picture of the early solar system and reveals how material from long-dead stars helped build the planets—and may even inspire new advances in medicine.
