The nebular hypothesis states that the Solar System had condensed out of an interstellar nebula that had collapsed, with the Planets condensing in orbit around the Sun. Originally proposed by Kant and Laplace in the 18th Century, it became generally accepted in the 19th Century, though a stellar-collision model became popular in the early 20th Century. It was revived in the mid 20th Century, and it has become generally accepted.
