But the solar system was much more chaotic during its formative years with large planetary-type objects migrating and interacting all over the place, just the sort of scenario that would be conducive to producing Saturn\u2019s rings. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsidering the solar system\u2019s evolutionary history, it\u2019s more likely that the rings formed closer to\u201d Saturn\u2019s earliest times, he
