Stars Are Born

The stars are born within giant gas clouds.  Dust swirls deep into the gas clouds.  This forms pockets of gas.  Deep down in a cloud a pocket of gas grows big enough that the gravity pulls more gas into the cloud.  Then gradually, the star's pocket of gas begins to contract, and it slowly warms up.
