The accretion theory, which explains the formation of celestial bodies like planets through the gradual accumulation of dust and gas, was primarily proposed by scientists in the early 20th century, including the work of the American astronomer and astrophysicist, Carl Friedrich Gauss. However, it gained significant attention and development through the contributions of various researchers, including the German astronomer Hermann von Helmholtz and later by others in the field of astrophysics. The theory has evolved over time with advancements in our understanding of stellar and planetary formation.
