57:3.2 The near-by [[star]] [[students]] of that faraway era, as they [[observed]] this [[metamorphosis]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_57#57:1._THE_ANDRONOVER_NEBULA Andronover nebula], saw exactly what twentieth-century astronomers see when they turn their [[telescopes]] spaceward and view the present-age [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_nebula spiral nebulae] of adjacent [[outer space]].

57:3.3 About the [[time]] of the [[attainment]] of the maximum of [[mass]], the [[gravity]] [[control]] of the [[gaseous]] [[content]] commenced to weaken, and there ensued the [[stage]] of [[gas]] [[escapement]], the gas [[streaming]] forth as [[two]] gigantic and distinct arms, which took [[origin]] on [[opposite]] sides of the [[mother]] [[mass]]. The rapid [[revolutions]] of this enormous central core soon imparted a spiral [[appearance]] to these two projecting [[gas]] [[streams]]. The cooling and subsequent [[condensation]] of portions of these protruding arms [[eventually]] produced their knotted [[appearance]]. These [[dense]]r portions were vast [[systems]] and subsystems of [[physical]] [[matter]] whirling through [[space]] in the midst of the [[gaseous]] cloud of the [[nebula]] while being held [[securely]] within the [[gravity]] grasp of the mother wheel.

57:3.4 But the [[nebula]] had begun to contract, and the increase in the [[rate]] of [[revolution]] further lessened [[gravity]] [[control]]; and erelong, the outer gaseous regions began actually to [[escape]] from the [[immediate]] [[embrace]] of the [[nebular]] [[nucleus]], passing out into [[space]] on [[circuits]] of irregular [[outline]], returning to the [[nuclear]] regions to complete their circuits, and so on. But this was only a temporary [[stage]] of [[nebular]] [[progression]]. The ever-increasing [[rate]] of whirling was soon to throw enormous [[suns]] off into [[space]] on [[independent]] [[circuits]].

57:3.5 And this is what happened in [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_57#57:1._THE_ANDRONOVER_NEBULA Andronover] ages upon ages ago. The [[energy]] [[wheel]] grew and grew until it [[attained]] its maximum of expansion, and then, when contraction set in, it whirled on faster and faster until, [[eventually]], the critical [[centrifugal]] [[stage]] was reached and the great breakup began.

57:3.7 400,000,000,000 years ago began the recaptive period of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_57#57:1._THE_ANDRONOVER_NEBULA Andronover nebula]. Many of the near-by and smaller [[suns]] were recaptured as a result of the [[gradual]] enlargement and further [[condensation]] of the [[mother]] [[nucleus]]. Very soon there was [[inaugurated]] the terminal [[phase]] of [[nebular]] [[condensation]], the period which always precedes the final [[segregation]] of these immense [[space]] [[aggregations]] of [[energy]] and [[matter]].

57:3.8 It was scarcely a million years subsequent to this [[epoch]] that [[Michael]] of [[Nebadon]], a [[Creator Son]] of [[Paradise]], selected this disintegrating [[nebula]] as the site of his [[adventure]] in [[universe]] building. Almost [[immediately]] the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES architectural worlds] of [[Salvington]] and the one hundred [[constellation]] [[headquarters]] [[groups]] of [[planets]] were begun. It required almost one million years to complete these clusters of specially created worlds. The [[local system headquarters]] [[planets]] were constructed over a period extending from that time to about five billion years ago.

57:3.9 300,000,000,000 years ago the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_57#57:1._THE_ANDRONOVER_NEBULA Andronover] [[solar]] [[circuits]] were well [[established]], and the [[nebular]] [[system]] was passing through a transient period of [[relative]] [[physical]] [[stability]].

57:3.10 200,000,000,000 years ago [[witnessed]] the [[progression]] of contraction and [[condensation]] with enormous [[heat]] generation in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_57#57:1._THE_ANDRONOVER_NEBULA Andronover] central cluster, or [[nuclear]] [[mass]].

The outer regions were becoming more [[stabilized]] and better [[organized]]; some [[planets]] revolving around the newborn [[suns]] had cooled sufficiently to be suitable for [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_58#58:1._PHYSICAL-LIFE_PREREQUISITES life implantation]. The oldest [[inhabited planets]] of [[Nebadon]] date from these times.

57:3.12 100,000,000,000 years ago the [[nebular]] apex of [[condensation]] tension was reached; the point of maximum [[heat]] tension was [[attained]]. This critical [[stage]] of [[gravity]]-[[heat]] [[contention]] sometimes lasts for ages, but sooner or later, [[heat]] wins the struggle with [[gravity]], and the spectacular period of [[sun]] [[dispersion]] begins. And this marks the end of the secondary [[career]] of a [[space]] [[nebula]].
