Nuclear Clues to the Early History of the Solar System: Light nuclei were synthesized before planetary material had entirely separated from hydrogen.
Abstract
Space research seeks to ascertain, among other things, the history of the origin of the solar system. There already exist certain nuclear clues to this history, and additional evidence will be forthcoming from exploration of the moon and the planets.
