Overview Have you ever wondered how the Solar System formed? Scientists have long debated the origins of our planets and their moons, with theories ranging from a gigantic cloud of gas and dust to asteroid collisions. But new research suggests that the answer might be simpler (or more complicated) than we previously thought - that our Solar System may have been created from a poorly mixed cake batter! Read on to find out more about this fascinating discovery! Introduction to the Research The research, published in the journal Science, provides new evidence that our solar system may have formed from a poorly mixed cake batter. When a cake is baking, the batter is usually well mixed. But sometimes, if the baker is not careful, the batter can become poorly mixed. This can happen if the ingredients are not thoroughly combined, or if the batter is left to sit for too long before being put into the oven.
