Scientists surprised by star, develop theory with no internal consistency.
"Although scientists are still not exactly sure how this process unfolds, one of the theories suggests that as these massive stars evolve, the outer hydrogen envelope, which is loosely bound, becomes vulnerable to gravitational stripping, possibly by a nearby companion star. This process can eventually lead to the stripped matter spilling out, creating a disk around the binary system."
Up is down in gravity-world.
