Solar Nebula

Description

682 View of the solar nebula. Our system of planets formed from a disk-shaped nebula of dust and gas around the early sun. This view shows the disk nearly edge on, with "polar" jets shooting out from the early sun. Similar nebulae have been photographed by Hubble Space Telescope, in less detail.
