As noted by F. Engels in "Dialectics of Nature," it was through the exploration of cosmogony that the concept of nature's development over time was first introduced into science. Understanding the origins of the Earth and the Sun is directly connected to human existence and the resolution of critical practical challenges. The significance of cosmogony is immense for shaping a correct materialistic worldview. It is particularly through the lens of cosmogonic problems that the infinity of space and time is vividly illustrated, revealing the dialectics of nature and the laws governing its evolution. **Table of Contents** - Introduction - Our Star System — The Galaxy - The Nature of Stars - The Origin of Stars - The Development of Gas-Dust Nebulae - The Origin of the Solar System
