and dark clouds, proto-stars (new stars) form through
a process of gravitational condensation or contraction.
It is imagined that perhaps some outside force,
maybe in the form of gravitational energy from a
passing stellar object, causes a dust cloud to begin
the contraction process. These huge clouds are
known to be of various densities. They contain spots
where the gas and dust is somewhat denser than in
the surrounding regions of the cloud. These denser
areas attract still more material toward themselves
until a huge amount of matter, many times the size of
our solar system, is formed. The contraction process
becomes critical – nothing within the protostar can
