  8. Rings or disks of dust and gas surrounding young stars, where planets are believed to form.
  9. Stars Stars, including those similar in size to the Sun, that are fueled by nuclear fusion, converting hydrogen into helium in their cores, preventing gravitational collapse.
  10. A region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape its grasp.
