Theory of Stellar Formation

The Theory of Stellar Formation describes how stars are born from clouds of gas and dust in space, known as nebulae. Over time, gravity pulls this material together, causing it to collapse and heat up. As the core becomes hot and dense enough, nuclear fusion ignites, marking the birth of a star. This process can take millions of years. The resulting star emits energy and light, becoming a vital part of galaxies. Eventually, stars evolve and may end their life cycles as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes, enriching the cosmos with elements for future generations of stars and planets.
