Dr John Chambers has made detailed computer simulations of the origin and formation of the Earth and the inner planets. These build upon earlier work by Chambers and George Wetherill, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, whose computer calculations had predicted that planets would tend to have elliptical orbits rather than the almost-circular ones we see in the Solar System. ...

... The greater the distance, the smaller the parallax. ... That triangle has the same proportions as the much larger triangle ABC, and therefore, if the distance B'C to the thumb is 10 times the distance A'B' between the eyes, the distance AC to the far landmark is also 10 times the distance AB. ... The most distant objects our eyes can see are the stars, and they are very far indeed: light which moves at 300,000 kilometers (186,000 miles) per second, would take years, often many years, to reach them. ...
