Jupiter swallowed smaller planet 木星体积巨型之谜揭开
Scientists have discovered that Jupiter swallowed up a planet 10 times the size of the Earth in a massive collision, on the way to becoming the largest planet in the solar system, the Daily Mail reports.

The Earth and Moon are the result of a gigantic collision between two planets the size of Mars and Venus. 据英国《每日邮报》消息,科学家发现木星之所以能成为太阳系内体积最大的行星是因为“吞食”了另一颗星体,其体积大约是地球的10倍。这项研究为研究太阳系诞生之初的剧烈环境提供了新视野。当时较小的行星在相互碰撞中融合为更大的星体,地球和月球正是两颗体积分别相当于火星和金星这样的天体剧烈碰撞后的产物。
