Gathers mass from its parent molecular cloud.
Interesting Fact:
Star formation begins in relatively small molecular clouds called dense cores.Each dense core is initially in balance between self-gravity, which tends to compress the object, and both gas pressure and magnetic pressure, which tend to inflate it. As the dense core accrues mass from its larger, surrounding cloud, self-gravity begins to overwhelm pressure, and collapse begins. Theoretical modeling of an idealized spherical cloud initially supported only by gas pressure indicates that the collapse process spreads from the inside toward the outside.]]> 2016-09-20 04:02:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jose_gomez2/llqh0dichb46/wish/124952621
