一项新的研究表明，像木星这样的大型行星可能最初是扁平的圆盘，类似于煎饼，而不是球形结构。 A new study suggests that large planets like Jupiter may have begun as flattened disks, similar to a pancake, rather than spherical structures. 该研究利用计算机模拟来模拟行星的形成，其理论基础是年轻行星或原行星是由围绕年轻恒星运行的大型旋转气体盘破裂而在短时间内形成的。 The research uses computer simulations to model the formation of planets based on the theory that young planets, or protoplanets, form in short timescales from the breaking up of large rotating disks of gas orbiting young stars.
