Many different types of disk-like distributions of gas, stars, and planets can be found in the observable universe. Our own Sun is located in a spiral arm within a disk-like distribution of stars, gas and dust in our Milky Way Galaxy. The Earth formed in a disk of material left over from the formation of the Sun. Black holes have disks of material swirling about them, and there are many more examples of the ubiquity of such disks. Consequently, knowing how disks form and appreciating the processes operating in them are critical to understanding many objects in astrophysics.

在可观测的宇宙中可以发现许多不同类型的气体、恒星和行星的盘状分布。我们的太阳位于银河系中恒星、气体和尘埃呈盘状分布的旋臂中。地球是由太阳形成时留下的物质盘形成的。黑洞周围有旋转的物质盘，而且还有更多这样的物质盘无处不在的例子。因此，了解圆盘如何形成并了解其中运行的过程对于理解天体物理学中的许多物体至关重要。
