MATERIAL cold gas and dustTRIGGER gravity, sometimes a shove

Every star begins as part of a cold, dark cloud of gas and dust, light years across. Most clouds drift unchanged for ages until something, a supernova shockwave, a galactic traffic jam, squeezes a region past the tipping point and gravity takes over. The cloud fragments into collapsing clumps: a litter of stars about to be born, hundreds at a time.
