Circumstellar disks

Circumstellar disks are structures of gas, dust, and debris that orbit around a star, forming a disk-like shape. These disks are typically found in the early stages of star formation, known as protoplanetary disks, where material is accreting onto a forming star. Over time, these disks can evolve into debris disks, which are composed of remnants of material that did not coalesce into planets or other celestial bodies.
