other type of an object which in our solar system led to the formation of terrestrial planets and gas giants and because it would be somewhat difficult for any planetary object to cross the gap it would actually require a lot of energy and quite a lot of momentum to move from one region to the other that's why we mostly have gas giants on one side and terrestrial planets on the other side and in this case even the moons of jupiter and saturn are very different in composition to our own moon for the most part all of these moons contain a lot of ices on the inside our moon however is mostly terrestrial which once again suggests that they were produced in very different locations of the solar system but then we have this recent paper that you can find in the description below that has gone even a step farther they were able to successfully show that the reason why these different meteorites exist is really because of this gap and this gap definitely explains the origin of various types of planets essentially providing even more direct proof for the existence of something like this in the early solar system the way that they prove this is by analyzing the magnetic fields of various asteroids in this case the team behind this paper analyzed the signs of different magnetic fields that were present when the meteorites were formed and essentially looked at various changes created by the magnetic fields inside the tiny particles that were present inside meteorites here we're talking about particles that are usually known as conduls conjus are these tiny formations present in some of the meteorites or actually most of the meteorites and generally various electrons inside these conduits will actually be aligned with the magnetic field that was present in the early solar system and so by directly measuring the alignment inside the conduits of various meteorites they were able to work out the approximate magnetic field that was present when these particular meteorites were formed specifically comparing the carbonaceous chondrite to the non-carbonaceous chondrite meteorites so basically those meteorites that have this dichotomy and to their surprise they discovered that the meteorites that were carbonaceous in nature and that were most likely made farther away from the sun anywhere between three to maybe seven astronomical units seem to contain approximately double the magnetic field of some of the non-carbonaceous meteorites that were studied in previous studies that were also made much closer to the sun essentially where earth mars and the moon were created but normally we expect the magnetic field to sort of decrease equally away from the sun we don't expect it to suddenly increase farther away from the sun and the increase here was quite dramatic the magnetic field for the closer non-carbonaceous chondrites was approximately NUMBER_TOKEN microtesla that's actually very similar to the magnetic field of planet earth right now but these distant carbonaceous chondrites had approximately doubled the magnetic field about NUMBER_TOKEN microtesla and to the scientists behind this paper this implied well really two things one is that there was a lot of accretion going on which created much more powerful magnetic fields which is also the reason why we ended up getting a lot of massive planets like jupiter and saturn and so in other words this suggests that the outskirts of the solar system here had a really really large amount of accretion which also created very powerful magnetic fields in comparison to the inner region this also very likely produced extremely powerful winds which then also probably produced the gap that we observe from various studies which of course all together kind of makes sense and explains a
