The initial stages of the evolution of a spherical star system can be pictured in the following way. The stars have their beginning in a comparatively small region; the mechanism of the origin of initial velocities is not known exactly. From the point of view of the contemporary state of stellar astronomy, it is an acceptable view that the initial velocities have their origin in the attraction of each individual star towards the center of gravity of the system. The second possible assumption is to attribute the origin of initial velocities to forces of an explosive character. But in either case, initially, all orbits have to be almost exactly radial.
