Alan Boss

Alan Boss is an American astrophysicist known for his research on how planets and solar systems form. He studies the processes that occur in the swirling disks of gas and dust around young stars, which eventually lead to planet creation. His work helps scientists understand the origins of our own Solar System and the possibility of other habitable worlds. Boss’s insights contribute significantly to astrophysics by explaining how planets develop and evolve over time, guiding future discoveries in planetary science and the search for extraterrestrial life.
