The gravitational effect of these massive objects caused immense reshuffling of other planetary bodies that were forming at the time, meaning that the current locations of many planetary bodies in our solar system are not where they originally formed.
“The significant reorganization of the early solar system due to giant planet migration has hampered our understanding of where planetary bodies formed,” said Jan Render, LLNL postdoc and lead author of the paper. “And by looking at the makeup of meteorites from the asteroid belt, we were able to determine that their parent bodies must have accreted from materials from very different locations in the early solar system.”
EPSC 2021 – Session TP4 on Impact Processes in the Solar System | Planetary News
We would like to announce the following exciting co-organized session at the EPSC 2021 virtual meeting September 13–24, 2021:
Impact processes shaped the solar system and modify planetary surfaces and small bodies until today. Impacts also have a technical application for planetary defense, exemplified by the joint ESA/NASA Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment (AIDA) collaboration. This session aims at understanding impact processes at all scales in terms of shock metamorphism, dynamical aspects, geochemical consequences, environmental effects and biotic response, and cratering chronology.

“It’s really the largest boundary of its kind we can study,” said Walt Harris, space physicist at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
We still know little about what lies beyond this boundary. Fortunately, bits of interstellar space can come to us, passing right through this border and making their way into the solar system.

Carbon dioxide-rich liquid water in ancient meteorite -- ScienceDaily
By studying ancient meteorite fragments, scientists can gain important insights into how our solar system formed eons ago. Now, in a new study, researchers have discovered carbon dioxide-rich liquid water inside a meteorite from an asteroid that formed 4.6 billion years ago. This finding suggests that the meteorite's parent asteroid formed beyond Jupiter's orbit before being transported into the inner solar system and provides key evidence for the dynamics of the Solar System's formation.

The next full Moon will be late Monday night, April 26, 2021, appearing opposite the Sun in Earth-based longitude at 11:32 p.m. EDT. This will be the next day from the Atlantic Daylight Savings timezone eastward across Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia to the International Date Line. Most commercial calendars are based on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and will show this full Moon occurring on Tuesday, April 27, 2021.

NASA's New Horizons Reaches Deep-Space Milestone At The Edge Of The Solar System | IFLScience
NASA's New Horizons mission just passed a rare deep-space milestone where it is traveling billions of kilometers away at the edge of the Solar System. On April 17, it crossed the 50 astronomical unit (AU) mark – one AU is the distance between Earth and the Sun – meaning it is now 50 times farther from us than we are from the Sun.
When New Horizons first launched in 2006, it took just minutes to communicate with the spacecraft. Now, it's at a distance of roughly 7.5 billion kilometers (almost 5 billion miles) it takes 7 hours for a message to reach Earth traveling at the speed of light.
