These scientists believe that the explosion of the supernova squeezed a nearby cloud of dust‚ causing it to collapse. When the gravity gathered the dust together‚ it formed something called a solar nebula. Soon‚ the cloud became hotter‚ a disk of gas surrounding it. Molecules gathered in a clump as the disk got smaller. Scientists believe in this theory using technology. They used this technology to observe
