062 - Dr Sarah Maddison - Planetary Formation Part 1

This entry was posted on Tuesday, May 6th, 2008 at 22:39.

In this episode, I talk to Dr Sarah Maddison from the Swinburne University of Technology on how planets form - both in our solar system, and other systems around the universe. We discuss the standard solar system as we know it - and “Hot Jupiters” that have been discovered around distant stars - and how astronomers think they formed.

This is part 1 of a 2 part interview.
