It showed that the solar system evolved after the formation of the planets. The Nice model and its craftsman Alessandro Morbidelli, planetologist, professor at the Collège de France and at the Côte d’Azur observatory opens the “At the origins” conference cycle, third edition, at L’Artistique tomorrow at 3 p.m.
“I will try to popularize it as much as possible to make it clear that this fundamental discovery of the Nice model is a precursor in understanding the past and future evolution of our solar system”underlines Alessandro Morbidelli. And to continue: “The solar system has stabilized, but it is still evolving. According to researchers at the Paris Observatory, the planets can collide – with each other or with the sun – with, for Mercury, a probability of collision of the order of 1%.”
Seven other meetings are also scheduled. “Scientists will report on research on origins in three fields of perception: Man, the universe and life”explains Jean-Marc Giaume, deputy mayor responsible for scientific culture.
