A Star is Born-No Big Bang Needed

 PSI Blog 20220404 A Star is Born-No Big Bang Needed

 

Thanks to Marilyn for this:

As far as I know, this is an image of the first “exoprotoplanet” ever discovered. It is part of the infinite number of vortices in the universe. This rotating vortex is a gaseous disc with its dense nucleus being a young, 2-million-year-old star. The protoplanet appears to be an especially dense portion of the gas cloud rotating around the star at a great distance. This observation supports the long-held theory that our own Sun and its planets formed via condensation from a rotating cloud. It doesn’t look like a Big Bang or perfectly empty space was involved.

Figure 1: Image of the star AB Aurigae taken by the Subaru Telescope showing the spiral arms in the disk and the newly-discovered protoplanet AB Aur b. The bright central star has been masked, and its location is indicated by the star mark (☆). The size of Neptune’s orbit in the Solar System is shown to provide scale.
