    ASTRONOMY HELP!!! Sort the following hypothetical discoveries into the...

    ...appropriate bins as follows? Consistent with theory: The statement describes a discovery that we could reasonably expect to find if the nebular theory is correct.

    Not consistent with theory: The statement describes a discovery that would force us to modify or discard the nebular theory.

    - all 6 of stars terrestrial planets have a moon as large as earth's moon
    - a star is surrounded by a disk of gas but has no planets
    - a star has 20 planets
    - a stars 5 terrestrial planets orbit in the opposite direction of its 3 jovian planets
    - beyond its jovian planets, a star has two ice-rich objects as large as mars
    - of a stars 5 terrestrial planets, 1 has a moon as large as earth's moon
    - a stars 4 jovian planets formed in its inner solar system and its 4 terrestrial planets formed farther out
    - a star has 9 planets, but none orbit in close to the same plane

    which categories do these belong in??? thanks!

    ANSWRS: Consistent: star has 20 planets, beyond its jovian planets...., star is surrounded by a disk of gas, but has no planets, of a stars 5 terrrestial planets, has 1 moon as large as earths moon
