I want to start this topic that contrasts EU and GTSM, where are they compatible (or the same) and where do they differ). For the EU side it should be the official line from Wal Thornhill et al (although sometimes EU adopts new ideas or plays around with them (hollow astrons?), they can be added too).
For GTSM it is just this: Astrons are born via z-pinches in stellar filaments, they start out very hot and bright, their matter is fully in the plasma state, as they cool off (shine light away) and lose matter (solar wind) they undergo phase changes, from plasma to gas, to liquid to solid, all the whille undergoing processes that are conducive to life formation.
You can make a list of where compatible, where different, what do you prefer to be true
or whatever.Regards,
Daniel
