BLUE STAR DONATIONS: NEWBORN STARS

Newborn stars are formed from clouds of gas and dust, known as nebulae, that collapse under the force of gravity. As the cloud collapses, it becomes denser and hotter until the pressure and temperature at the center are sufficient for nuclear fusion to begin. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy, which causes the star to shine brightly. Over time, the star will continue to burn fuel and will eventually run out, leading to its death. But for a time, newborn stars are some of the most spectacular and awe-inspiring objects in the universe.
