Mexico City (MiMorelia.com/Redacción).- One of the puzzles that is prevalent in our Solar System, is how you formed the rings of the gas planets, which lie beyond the asteroid belt.
One theory points, in the case of Saturn, a moon was ripped apart by the gravitational forces of getting too close to its surface, and hence arose their "ornaments". And this is the most common reason.
Now, researchers from the University of Kobe, in Japan, conclude that the rings of Saturn, Neptune and Uranus, were formed from the remains of dwarf planets, destroyed to the come very close to their respective orbits.
Led by Ryuki Hyodo, astronomers nipponese raise, thousands of cosmic bodies with a size similar to that of Pluto, and dwelt in the Kuiper Belt to the short time of forming the Solar System.
Note that the planets referred to would have migrated about four billion years ago, which moved both the Kuiper Belt such as the asteroid belt -located between Mars and Jupiter-and in front of such a scenario, the larger bodies were pushed and collided with each other, absorbed by the gravitational force of stars larger.
that way -reports the specialized website space.com-, to come close enough to the above-mentioned planets, were shattered by gravity and his remains gave rise to the formation of rings in these stars are gaseous.
through the computer simulations of this model, the specialists of Kobe obtained sufficient evidence to explain the differences between the rings of Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. The first are composed in a 95 percent ice, while the other by rocky material.
And the theory that they were remnants of dwarf planets, can explain this difference, pointing in your research.
This implies that the giant planets discovered around other stars, it is likely to have rings formed by a similar process, indicate.
