Secrets in the Stars – How Stars are Formed
Did you know the bright stars we see at night began in turbulent darkness?
Our stars, planets and nebulae originated from giant molecular clouds of gas and dust.
Gravitational pressure from nearby celestial events breaks and crushes the clouds into smaller denser clumps, which are the origins of stars.
The dense clumps become surrounded by a cocoon of dust, where heat increases until the cocoon begins to spiral.
The rotation becomes the movement of a future galaxy, where protostars, planets and moons take shape.
In the chaotic spin, the heat intensifies, until gas jets rocket outward from the center, revealing the first glow of a star.
Eventually hydrogen fusion occurs giving the stars the long bright life that we see in our night sky.
The same theme of beauty from turmoil repeats throughout the universe.
Caterpillars must struggle to escape their chrysalis to become butterflies.
The rarest gems buried deep in the Earth, endured volcanic lava flows to travel to the surface before we could find them.
Perhaps the difficult times we all face…are the unknown transition to our finest moments.
Struggle, pressure and dark times created the shining outcomes we see in the night sky., in nature, and also, in each other.
Thanks for watching!
