Our Solar System Use To Be Binary

Recently scientists or astronomers theorized and speculated that our solar system use  to be a binary system then or it is a two star system or a two sun system wherein the other companion star or sun was lost and now somewhere in the Milky Way due to gravitational influence as reported that pull it away and make our solar system a single star system.

The theory that our solar system then is binary make it explain why or for the oort cloud existence beyond our solar system as well the Planet Nine beyond the planet Neptune. But, the oort cloud and the Planet Nine has not yet truly confirmed but the scientists are still waiting for Vera C. Rubin Observatory or VRO for next year-2021- to bring light to it or to prove the theory is correct.

It is said that oort cloud was formed or captured during then that our stary sytem or solar system is binary for scientists said it is hard for a single-star system to capture such.

“If the Oort cloud was indeed captured with the help of an early stellar companion, the implications for our understanding of the solar system's formation would be significant. "Binary systems are far more efficient at capturing objects than are single stars," said Loeb. "If the Oort cloud formed as observed, it would imply that the sun did in fact have a companion of similar mass that was lost before the sun left its birth cluster."” (Phys)

The binary system according to scientists did formed or created the oort cloud than a single-star system and would explain and confirmed that indeed our sun has a birth companion then which was just lost and now somewhere in the Milky Way and our solar system use to be a binary or a two star system or two sun system.

“Dr. Avi Loeb, Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard, and Amir Siraj, a Harvard undergraduate student, have postulated that the existence of a long-lost stellar binary companion in the sun's birth cluster—the collection of stars that formed together with the sun from the same dense cloud of molecular gas—could explain the formation of the Oort cloud as we observe it today.” (Phys)

“A new theory published today in the Astrophysical Journal Letters by scientists from Harvard University suggests that the sun may once have had a binary companion of similar mass. If confirmed, the presence of an early stellar companion increases the likelihood that the Oort cloud was formed as observed and that Planet Nine was captured rather than formed within the solar system.” (Phys)

“…..a potential solar companion, which theorists believe was developed in the Sun's birth cluster and later lost. If proven, the solar companion theory would provide additional credence to theories that the Oort cloud formed as we see it today, and that Planet Nine was captured rather than formed in place.”(Phys)

“The astronomers say the theory could explain the formation of the Oort cloud, a theoretical cloud of dust and smaller objects in the distant regions of our solar system that many believe was created out of the left overs from the early solar system.” (Futurism)
