"Data-reactid =" 19 "> In the early days of the solar system, a mysterious planet twice the size of the Earth collided with changing Uranus the ice giant forever.
(19659003) Astronomers from the University of Durham, UK, performed the first high-resolution computer simulations of various massive collisions with the ice giant to try to determine how the planet has evolved.
The research confirms an earlier study that indicated that the Uranus inclined position was caused by a collision with a massive object.
It was probably a young protoplanet made of rock and ice – during the formation of the solar system about 4 billion years ago.
Scientists also revealed that debris could form a thin shell near the edge of the planet's ice sheet and trap heat from the Uranus nucleus [
