Debanjan Sengupta, postdoctoral researcher at New Mexico State University, received a three-year, $750,000 award from the NASA Emerging Worlds program, which aims to understand the formation and early evolution of the Solar System.
Sengupta’s research, titled “Planetesimal Formation: A Natural Synergy between Streaming Instability and Turbulent Concentration,” seeks to understand how the planets were formed in the infancy of the solar system.
“What was the solar system like? What were the physical conditions? How did the planets come to be? To figure that out, I take a computational approach,” Sengupta explained. “I solve equations to figure out the processes that initially formed the solar system. I can also get information from meteorites that have fallen on the surface of the earth, which act as fossils of the Solar System formation.”

The recent false and misleading statements by Governor Lujan Grisham about her desire to ban “assault weapons” demand such an immediate response.
