A theory of the origin and evolution of the solar system (Alfvén and Arrhenius, 1975, 1976) which considered electromagnetic forces and plasma effects is revised in the light of new information supplied by space research. The results can be extrapolated both outwards in space, to interstellar clouds, and backwards in time, to the formation of the solar system. The first extrapolation leads to a revision of some cloud properties which are essential for the early phases in the formation of stars and solar nebulae. The latter extrapolation makes possible to approach the cosmogonic processes by extrapolation of (rather) well-known magnetospheric phenomena. Pioneer-Voyager observations of the Saturnian rings indicate that essential parts of their structure are "fossils" from cosmogonic times. By using detailed information from these space missions, it seems possible to reconstruct certain events 4 - 5 billion years ago with an accuracy of a few percent. This will cause a change in our views of the evolution of the solar system.
