...knows what to look for can practically see stars forming before his eyes. These star wombs are great clouds of gas and dust floating in interstellar space. Like the clouds that formed in the expanding primordial fireball shortly after the big bang, they consist mostly of nature's simplest molecule, hydrogen. A star is born when some force, perhaps a shock wave, drives enough of the hydrogen molecules in a cloud sufficiently close to one another that they are held together by their mutual gravity. As a result, a huge pocket of condensed gas, trillions of miles across...
