Star Formation with Recent developments

Star Formation is the process by which dense parts of molecular clouds collapse into a ball of plasma to form a star. As a branch of astronomy star formation includes the study of the interstellar medium and giant molecular clouds as precursors to the star formation process and the study of young stellar objects and planet formation as its immediate products. Star formation theory, as well as accounting for the formation of a single star, must also account for the statistics of binary stars and the initial mass function.[…]
Scientists Resolve Mystery Of How Massive Stars Form: New research has shown how a massive star can grow despite outward-flowing radiation pressure that exceeds the gravitational force pulling material inward.[1]

Astronomers Gain Important Insight On How Massive Stars Form: Astronomers using the National Science Foundation's Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope have discovered key evidence that may help them figure out how very massive stars can form.[2]
