they grow in mass. Thanks to their own gravity, they pull in even more gas and dust from the surrounding star-forming region. Over a million years (give or take), these clumps mature into dense bodies known as protostars.
Slow-spinning clouds could have formed elliptical galaxies. Cooling: High-density protogalactic clouds cooled faster, using up all the gas and dust in forming stars and leaving none for making a galactic disk (this is why elliptical galaxies don't have disks). Low-density protogalactic clouds ...

A planetesimal is small bodies from which a planet originated in the early stages of formation of the solar system. Protoplanets are whenplanetesimals join together through collisions and through the force of gravity to form larger bodies. Because they have their gases they are not as dense as ...
–How many galaxies are there? –Hubble’s law: Why are most galaxies moving away from us? –How black holes and galaxies play tug-of-war across the cosmos As the gas collapsed and its density increased, some stars formed very early on, before the gas had stabilised into a rotating disc...
We consider the effects of an outflow on radiation escaping from the infalling envelope around a massive protostar. Using numerical radiative transfer calculations, we show that outflows with properties comparable to those observed around massive stars lead to significant anisotropy in the stellar radia...
protosun's interior. When this happened, the energy released by these reactions stopped the contraction, and a large amount of light energy was radiated into space. The protosun had become a star. Nuclear reactions continue to the present day in the interior of the Sun and are the source ...
The results of this process are cached so it only has to happen once, and as few introspection calls as possible are called during the actual transformation. If a class is not preloaded, this computation will happen the first time an instance of that class is encountered, resulting in ...
Earth formed about 4.5 billion years ago, and scientists think the moon came into being shortly afterward. The prevailing explanation for the moon's origin, known as the Giant Impact Hypothesis, is that it resulted from two protoplanets (or embryonic worlds) that slammed together — the Earth ...
How many users are there? What does the system do? What are the inputs and outputs of the system? How much data do we expect to handle? How many requests per second do we expect? What is the expected read to write ratio? Step 2: Create a high level design ...
