12. Formation and Nature of Planetary Systems

Description

Part 12: The ways the various objects in the solar system are thought to have formed, stellar physics, and exoplanets. These short videos were created in August 2007 by Dr. Christopher D. Impey, Professor of Astronomy at the University of Arizona, for his students. They cover a broad range of terms, concepts, and princples in astronomy and astrobiology.
