![Figure 1 - The figure illustrates the diversity and multi-scale nature of the structures in the Galaxy. The first two lines are real astronomical images, which go from the galactic disk itself and down to the planet-forming disks. The last two lines are generated from numerical simulations and aim to understand and interpret the observations.

Predictive modelling of galactic star and planet formation
This article details advancements in our understanding of star and planet formation within galaxies, emphasising the transition from steady-state models to recognising the dynamic nature of the interstellar medium (ISM) in these processes.
