How are stars formed, why do they just blow up and fade away? How do we know the answer to this question? A star is born when atoms of light elements are squeezed under enough pressure for their nuclei to undergo fusion. All stars are the result of a balance of forces: the force of gravity compresses atoms in interstellar gas until the fusion reactions begin. Star Formation Shapes the Appearance of the Universe and Provides the Sites for Planets. Step 1: initial collapse of an interstellar cloud. Step 2: the cloud fragments into clumps . The fragmentation is related to turbulence in the collapsing cloud. Step 3: The clumps collapse into a stars.
