Understanding Nebulae: From Kant's Proposal to Hubble's Discoveries
In 1755, Kant proposed that nebulae are island universes, sparking a debate on their nature within or outside our galaxy. Shapley and Curtis debated whether spiral nebulae were rotating systems like our Milky Way. Hubble's observations of the Andromeda Nebula led to the realization that it is a gala

The History of the Earth
The Earth, 4.5 billion years old, emerged from a nebula in the Milky Way Galaxy. Gravity led to the condensation of a rotating cloud into the Sun and planets. Over time, lumps collided, forming gas giants, rocky planets, and asteroids. The outer planets attracted hydrogen and helium, while the inner
