Big Bang! Everything explodes everywhere while gravity plays a critical role in the formation of structures in the universe. As matter clumped together under the influence of gravity, it leads to the formation of galaxies, stars, planets, and other celestial bodies.

Within galaxies, planetary systems like our own forms as a result of the condensation of material within protoplanetary disks. These disks of gas and dust around young stars gradually form planets and other small objects like comets and asteroids. Since asteroids are remnants from the early solar system, studying them can provide insights into the processes that shaped our solar system's formation. They contain information about the building blocks of planets and can help us understand how planets like Earth formed and evolved.
