The Lives of Stars

The Lives of Stars. The Deaths of Giants. Last Time. Last time, we traced the evolution of a star, starting with the cloud of gas from which it forms Denser patches of these molecular clouds begin to grow, as their gravity attracts more mass. Last Time. These dense clumps continue to grow
