Just to state the obvious, if it’s not spinning then it’s virtually certain to not be natural. Accretion preserves angular momentum. If there is no angular momentum, the method of construction could not have been accretion, to a very high level of confidence.

Our solar system is self-contained inside a closed system.

There is nothing beyond.
