Part 2/10:
To frame our discussion on colonization, it’s essential first to understand how planets are formed. The foundations lie in regions dense with gas, where events like supernova shockwaves initiate a transformation. As gas becomes less evenly distributed, it begins to coalesce into clumps which eventually form into a protoplanetary disc. A star forms in the center, while the orbital mechanics help create a sun-driven solar system.
