Description
An illustration of the wind blown by a newborn star, or protostar. When energetic particles from stellar wind hit the surrounding material, they may collide with atoms that are present in the star's environment, break them apart and produce new elements. Our Sun likely gusted a similar wind of particles in its early days; this could explain the origin of a puzzling isotope of beryllium, whose traces are found in meteorites.
