The evolution of worlds from nebulae

"The Evolution of Worlds from Nebulae" by Lee Parker Dean is a late 19th-century scientific exploration into the formation of planets and stars. It starts by introducing the nebular hypothesis, the idea that the solar system came from a huge cloud of gas and dust. Going against the common belief that planets were simply flung off the sun, the author asks important questions about how celestial objects expand and contract instead. The book is intended to be thought-provoking, inviting readers to consider the complicated and mysterious origins of the universe and promising a grand discussion of cosmic events.
