About this work
Artist: Gebing Artist's conception of a newborne star, still hidden in visible light by the dust clouds within which it formed, shows matter in orbit around the rotating star. Such leftover debris may eventually form comets, planets, satellites, and asteroids. Material squeezed out by the formation process is thought to be ejected along the star's rotation axis in relatively narrow, high-velocity streams of matter.
