  1. THE CAPTURE HYPOTHESIS OF T. J. J. SEE.1 In the opinion of Mr. See,2 the planets were not formed from fragments of the solar nebula, nor did the moon originate from a piece of that of the earth. He believes that the planets had a cosmic origin outside of the solar nebula ; that they are foreign bodies cap

  2. Capture hypothesis. The capture hypothesis, proposed by Michael Mark Woolfson in 1964, posits that the Solar System formed from tidal interactions between the Sun and a low-density protostar. The Sun's gravity would have drawn material from the diffuse atmosphere of the protostar, which would then have collapsed to form the planets.

  3. Jun 25, 2024 · These are the Nebular Hypothesis of Laplace, the Planetesimal Hypothesis of Chamberlin and Moulton, and the Capture Theory of See.

  4. The Capture theory. The Sun interacts with a nearby protostar, dragging a filament of material from the protostar.

  5. A theory of the origin of the Solar System is described which involves the capture of material from a light diffuse star which passed close to the Sun. It is shown that planetary condensations could be formed and that these would take up orbits with radii having the required range of values.

  6. Jul 4, 2017 · Later, in 1912, Moulton showed that parts of See'scapture theory” of planetary formation had, in fact, been “captured” from previously published work of Moulton's. Such peccadilloes ended See's career as a professional astronomer, and he was ostracized from most professional publications (a most unusual circumstance).

  7. Feb 1, 1971 · The condensation of planets under the conditions of Woolfson's capture theory of the origin of the solar system is described. It is shown that material captured by the Sun, during an encounter with another star, would probably not recondense to form planets under the conditions originally specified.
