Solar system formation has been difficult to recreate in computer models. Professor Anders Johansen, in collaboration with colleagues, found a solution more than a decade ago. If true, one might fear that our Solar System is a rare bird among the stars — and that it can be extremely difficult to find habitable planets similar to Earth.

Science Journalist Henrik Prætorius from Science Stories interviewed (in Danish) Professor Anders Johansen from the Centre for Star and Planet Formation, GLOBE Institute of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (UCPH). Professor Johansen was working at Lund University at the time of the interview.
