Astrogeny

/æsˈtrɑːdʒəni/ noun

Definition

The origin, formation, or generation of stars and stellar systems.

Etymology

From Greek 'astron' (star) + '-geny' (origin or generation). This term is used in astronomy and cosmology to describe stellar formation processes.

Kelly Says

Astrogeny reveals that stars aren't eternal—they're born from clouds of gas and dust, live billions of years as nuclear furnaces, and eventually die, with each generation creating new elements for the next.
