The solar system is the only place in the entire cosmos that we have surveyed directly using spacecrafts. Years of long and fascinating collaborative efforts between many different disciplines have helped us understand its origins and subsequent evolution. This article narrates this scientific story, discussing how our understanding of planetary systems has been altered by new findings from within and beyond the solar system
