57:1.1 [[Urantia]] is of [[origin]] in your [[sun]], and your sun is one of the multifarious [[offspring]] of the ''Andronover'' [[nebula]], which was onetime [[organized]] as a component part of the [[physical]] [[power]] and [[material]] [[matter]] of the [[local universe]] of [[Nebadon]]. And this great [[nebula]] itself took [[origin]] in the [[universal]] [[force]]-charge of [[space]] in the [[superuniverse]] of [[Orvonton]], long, long ago.

57:2.1 All [[evolutionary]] [[material]] [[creations]] are born of [[circular]] and [[gaseous]] [[nebulae]], and all such primary [[nebulae]] are [[circular]] throughout the early part of their [[gaseous]] [[existence]]. As they grow older, they usually become [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_nebula spiral], and when their [[function]] of [[sun]] formation has run its [[course]], they often terminate as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_cluster clusters] of [[stars]] or as enormous [[suns]] surrounded by a varying [[number]] of [[planets]], [[satellites]], and smaller [[groups]] of [[matter]] in many ways resembling your own diminutive [[solar system]].

As the astronomers of near-by [[universes]] looked out upon this [[phenomenon]] of [[space]], they saw very little to [[attract]] their [[attention]]. [[Gravity]] estimates made in adjacent [[creations]] indicated that [[space]] [[materializations]] were taking place in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_57#57:1._THE_ANDRONOVER_NEBULA Andronover] regions, but that was all.

57:3.1 The enormous [[nebula]] now began [[gradually]] to [[assume]] the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_nebula spiral] [[form]] and to become clearly visible to the [[astronomers]] of even distant [[universes]].

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]].

57:5.4 4,500,000,000 years ago the enormous ''Angona'' system began its approach to the [[neighborhood]] of this [[solitary]] [[sun]].
