Definition
The process by which dense regions within molecular clouds gravitationally collapse to form new stars. This process involves the fragmentation of gas clouds, gravitational contraction, and the eventual ignition of nuclear fusion in protostellar cores.
Etymology
From Latin 'stella' meaning star and 'formatio' meaning a shaping or forming. The modern understanding developed throughout the 20th century as astronomers studied molecular clouds and protostars.
Kelly Says
Stellar formation is like cosmic childbirth happening in slow motion over millions of years! Giant molecular clouds, some containing enough material to make millions of stars, slowly fragment and collapse under their own gravity, with stellar nurseries like the Orion Nebula giving us front-row seats to this cosmic creation process.
