... Here is a brief outline of the current theory of the events in the early history of the solar system: . A cloud of interstellar gas and/or dust (the "solar nebula") is disturbed and collapses under its own gravity. ... The gas cools off enough for the metal, rock and (far enough from the forming star) ice to condense out into tiny particles. (i.e. some of the gas turns back into dust). ... Once the larger of these particles get big enough to have a nontrivial gravity, their growth accelerates. ...

... December 8, 1996 . Degas Ray Crater on Mercury . ... Explanation : Like the Earth's Moon, Mercury is scarred with craters, testifying to an intense bombardment during the early history of the Solar System. ... In the above mosaic the bright rays emanating from the 27 mile wide Degas crater almost appear to be painted on . The rays consist of light colored material blasted out during the crater's formation. Numerous smaller, younger craters are seen superposed on the Degas crater itself. ...

... Sternberg Astronomical Institute , Moscow University . ... Present edition unites two parts of Catalogue of interacting galaxies by B.A.Vorontsov-Velyaminov: the first part (Part 1) containing 355 systems was published in 1959 [1] and the second one (Part 2) with 497 objects - in 1976 [2].Thus two published parts of Catalogue include 852 interacting systems. ... All new of them (1162 by number) were taken from the comments to the galaxies in Morphological catalogue by Vorontsov-Velyaminov et al.[ ...
