Astronomer finds gas giant exoplanets formed earlier than previously thought

The Ohio State University study’s results provide new information about the timing of accretion—the process of accumulating a large amount of gas as well as solid particles that are rich in carbon and oxygen to make large planets, like Jupiter.
