6.6: The Nebular Theory- Proplyds
What Evidence do we have of a Nebular Theory-type development?
We have observed discs of gas and dust around other stars. We can also see evidence of stars and planets forming in clouds of gas and dust; young planet systems in the making are called Proplyds. Other disk-forming evidence found throughout the Universe includes spiral galaxies. Computer modeling is used to model formation of stellar systems, like our solar system.
