@holvek: When gravitational compression begins in one of the giant, cold clouds of gas and dust in interstellar space, the material gradually coalesces into a dense, rotating mass. As it contracts, its rotational speed increases, and a wide protoplanetary disk of gas, dust, and ice forms around the future star. At the center of this disk, the temperature and pressure rise to millions of degrees, triggering thermonuclear reactions — a new star is born. Simultaneously, in the surrounding disk, tiny dust particles collide and coalesce, turning first into small rocks, then into planetesimals, and later into protoplanets. The inner regions of the disk, where it is too hot for ice to exist, become the site of the formation of rocky planets, while in the outer, cooler regions, gas and ice giants form, capable of attracting enormous masses of hydrogen and helium. Over millions of years, young planets collide, change orbits, capture moons, or eject material from the system, with the remaining debris becoming asteroids and comets. Over time, the star begins to emit powerful radiation and a stellar wind, which disperses the remaining gas and dust, completing the system's formation. As a result, after tens of millions of years, a fully-fledged stellar system emerges, complete with its own star, planets, satellites, asteroid belts, and comets. This is precisely how our Solar System emerged, approximately 4.6 billion years ago, from a single rotating cloud of material, the remnants of which eventually evolved into all the known objects orbiting the Sun. #💀 #scary #physics #horror
