Or the January 14, 2022 Hunga Tonga eruption that’s still going on.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">Have you noticed the lava & ash that it spews, falling back on the area around the volcano? Makes a big mess, but it builds islands! A similar process might be happening to young stars. Imagine a young star as our volcano.<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">But instead of lava and ash, the star spews gas and dust that fall back all around our young star. It flattens out into a disc and helps form new planets in the star’s outer regions.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p1">Just visit: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy">https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy</a> and donate as much as you can!</p> <p class="p1">Share the podcast with your friends and send the Patreon link to them too!<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p class="p1">Every bit helps!
