The formation of galaxies is mostly a result of the centrifugal force of the spinning gas and dust cloud, which resembles a certain glassmaking process. 

 

As another experiment in the evolving body of work About Dust, a gather of dust was centrifugally spun into a galaxy contained within clear glass.
