Synopsis
A collision between two dark, stellar masses and the resulting incandescent, gaseous nebula is the profound theory the author advances in this book as the origin of our sun and the stars. Expanding on a hypothesis proposed over twenty years prior, the author contends that the impact theory has been strengthened by recent astronomical and physical discoveries. The author posits that the immense energy necessary for a star's heat and light could only have resulted from the conversion of motion into heat by a collision and subsequent dispersion of materials. This theory also explains the motion and varied composition of stars, comets, meteorites, binary systems, and star clusters—all of which cannot be fully accounted for by the nebular hypothesis. The author's theory offers a comprehensive and cohesive explanation for the formation and characteristics of celestial bodies. It challenges prevailing notions of stellar evolution and invites a fresh perspective on the subject, deepening our understanding of the cosmos.

Book Description
James Croll's final publication, of 1889, focuses equally on the age of the sun, 'the probable origin of meteorites, comets and nebulae', and the effect of the early universe on star evolution. The clarity of his explanations makes his work on these universal and essential subjects still accessible to all.
