How are stars made? Where do the gases and other components come from in a vacuum?
In: 4
Interstellar space isn’t quite empty, it has about one atom of gas in each cubic centimeter (about ten atoms per cubic inch). Currents, ripples and shock waves from explosions in this interstellar gas make it more dense in places, and gravity can make it condense into a smaller volume, eventually creating a star.
