The Origin of the Solar System: The Capture Theory (Ellis Horwood library of space & space technology: series in astronomy) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The capture theory of the origin of the solar system, which was developed by the authors over the last 25 years is discussed in this book, starting with a discussion of the interstellar medium and concluding with explanations of nearly all the important features of the present system. During the development of the theory an explanation of isotropic anomalies in meteorites is given - one of the outstanding current problems of planatary science. The book includes an historical review of ideas about the solar system from the time of pre-Christian Greece and theories of its origin up to the end of the second decade of this century. Following a fairly detailed description of the system, more modern theories are examined and discarded as most fail to explain the features of the system, according to the authors.
