Accretion (astrophysics)

🖼️ ➺

In astrophysics, accretion is the accumulation of particles into a massive object by gravitationally attracting more matter, typically gaseous matter, into an accretion disk.¹² Most astronomical objects, such as galaxies, stars, and planets, are formed by accretion processes.
