Journey to the asteroids

Let us take a journey back in time to billions of years ago. The Solar System as we know it does not exist – there is no Sun, no planets and no moons, just a cloud of gas and dust swirling through the darkness of space. How did this become the Solar System we know today?

Scientists have different ideas about how the Solar System formed – we are not sure exactly what happened because nobody was there to see it. Ideas that are supported by data or observations (evidence) are called hypotheses.
