A theory which offers an explanation for various observed anomalies of Mercury, Venus, the moon, and of meteorites is presented, along with a suggestion that the sun is older than 5 billion years. A marked increase in solar luminosity some 4.6 billion years ago is offered as a mechanism that ablated the outer shell of Mercury, altering an iron-to-other element ratio observed on the earth and Venus. The dominant presence of refractory elements on the moon is taken to indicate the occurrence of an ablative melting of some planet in the past, due also to increased solar activity, with subsequent condensation to form the moon. Chondrites are noted to be forms of molten metal, and outgassing of Venus surface water is attributed to a large influx of solar energy. Finally, the observed radioisotope ratio dating in meteorites as an indication of condensation of a primordial nebula is expressed as also possibly due to the condensation of substances vaporized by a more active sun.
