Episode Description from the Publisher

The Solar System is vast and diverse, home to eight large planets, including one which gave rise to life. While humanity was born too late to witness the events that occurred at the birth of the Solar System first-hand, by peering into the surroundings of others stars, we are starting to piece together the events that unfolded at the birth of our own Solar System. Today, we shall explore the culmination of these decades of research, as we tell the story of the birth of the Solar System.MUSIC: - In the Throes - Asher Fulero- Song of Sadhana - Jesse Gallagher - Lord of the Dawn - Jesse Gallagher - Cylinder Three - Chris Zabriskie- Let Your Enemies Feel the Weight of Your Burdens - Chris Zabriskie - Lost Kingdom - CO.AG Music - Underwater Exploration - Godmode- The Sky is on Fire - CO.AG - I Am Running a Marathon - Chris Zabriskie- Somnolent - The TidesCO.AG's can be found on his YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcavSftXHgxLBWwLDm_bNvAAll songs by Chris Zabriskie are licensed under a Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution License. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Artist: http://chriszabriskie.com/CHAPTERS:00:00: Introduction 01:11: The Solar System 04:44: The Nebular Hypothesis 07:27: Star Formation 11:54: Planetary Formation Window 18:20: The Story of the Solar System 21:34: Rise of the Gas Giants 25:23: The Terrestrial Planets 30:46: Three Water Worlds
