Each stalk has a whorl of 5–10 lanceolate leaves (up to 8 centimetres or 3.1 inches long) at its tip, with one to four (most often one or two) white flowers on smaller stalks extending from the center of the whorl. The flowers are about 15 mm (1 ⁄ 2 in) across and consist of five to nine petals that form a star-like shape. Its fruit is tiny ...
Westerhout 51 nebula in Aquila - one of the largest star factories in the Milky Way (August 25, 2020). Star formation is the process by which dense regions within molecular clouds in interstellar space—sometimes referred to as "stellar nurseries" or "star-forming regions"—collapse and form stars. [1]
10 million – 100 million years 4.5–4.6 bya: Terrestrial planets and the Moon form. Giant impacts occur. Water delivered to Earth. [2] Main sequence 50 million years 4.5 bya: Sun becomes a main-sequence star. [32] 200 million years 4.4 bya: Oldest known rocks on the Earth formed.

Clerodendrum quadriloculare (known as the bronze-leaved clerodendrum, fireworks plant, [3] [4] Philippine glorybower, shooting star or starburst bush [4] in English, and bagawak or bagawak morado [3] [4] in Filipino) is a species of flowering plant native to New Guinea and the Philippines.
The SIR model (perhaps most popularly familiar in the form of Conway's Game of Life) is applied to star formation propagating through the galaxy: Each generation of stars in a neighborhood includes some massive ones whose stellar winds and, soon, supernovae, produce shock waves in the gas (Susceptible material).
A protostar is a very young star that is still gathering mass from its parent molecular cloud.It is the earliest phase in the process of stellar evolution. [1] For a low-mass star (i.e. that of the Sun or lower), it lasts about 500,000 years. [2]
After 21 Emmys, 51 pros, 394 Stars, 32 winners and thousands of iconic performances, Dancing with the Stars celebrates its milestone 500th episode on Tuesday with a night full of star-studded moments.
Corolla (the collective term for petals) is also 5- to 9-parted, rotate, [5] [7] with a very short tube [7] and elliptic-lanceolate segments. Stamens occur in the same number as the corolla lobes (5–9) [5] [7] and are positioned opposite them. [5] 1-3 peduncles, 1-flowered, filiform, and ebracteate. [7] The ovary is one-celled. The style is ...
