The Gordon Research Conference on the Origins of Solar Systems is due to meet from June 28-July 3 2015 at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, MA, an interdisciplinary meeting bringing together scientists from the fields of meteoritics (meteors), astrophysics, planetary science, extrasolar planets (or exo-planets) and the earth sciences. There are 32 invited speakers and 9 discussion leaders who will talk about the latest research findings – http://meteoriticalsociety.org
The meeting this year will look at topics such as the formation of proto-planetary disks, the chemical evolution of protoplanetary disks, physical chemical properties of planetary building blocks, and the implications for how the earth was assembled (and the other planets). I have put this up as the Electric Universe theory of Wal Thornhill requires the solar system having a latecomer, the planet Venus. Some of these talks may be of use to anyone interested in the subject.
