Comments on: Tiny comet grain dates Jupiter’s formation /news/2012/03/09/jupiters-formation/ News from the University of Hawaii Fri, 23 Apr 2021 02:36:54 +0000 hourly 1 By: Mr. Raymond Kenneth Petry /news/2012/03/09/jupiters-formation/#comment-10322 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 00:13:32 +0000 http://www.hawaii.edu/news/?p=5056#comment-10322 The presumption on Jupiter forming in a given orbit seems misplaced now that we have abundant data indicating that semi-giant gas planets moved deep into inner-planet ‘orbitories’: When the solar nebula had thinned, particles would have flung out high or low and missed Jupiter entirely.
