| It might rather be said that it is inconceivable on the nebular theory how a system of this form could be constructed at all. |
| With the 100-inch Isaac Newton Telescope in the Canary Islands, they looked for the patterns and colors of nebular gas in their patch of sky. |
| Once its core reached about 10 Earth masses, gravitational attraction captured the surrounding nebular gas and built up the gas giant planet we observe today. |
| Ghost images from the backs of the canvases pop up like pentimenti or nebular dust. |
| The book ended with a brief account of what is now called Laplace's nebular hypothesis, a theory of the origin of the solar system. |
| We're just at the edge of the Turnifwumpia pulsar's nebular system, and we ran into an uncharted cosmic ray storm. |
