Between you and Dr. Matt from PBS, I am learning so much. Thank you Astrophysicist for loving and learning about space, and then taking that knowledge and sharing with it all of us.

[juledude]

Absolutely great! I'm writing my BS.c. final project in physics about star formation and this video immensely helped me get a grasp of what to focus on and what are the major phases of a star formation. You explain it so eloquently and calmly and it really is a joy to watch. Thank you so much!

[realfamvigilante]

You can tell you really love what you do and I really enjoy binge watching your videos :)

[ruthiethemagmacube]

Very helpful, thank you. This video deserves more views!

[Brucebod]

I have just discovered your channel. So happy. Thank you for putting this all together, I have long wondered about the origins of stars ✨.

[shrutitirthabhattacharjee]

It was really very informative. You need more views and subscribers

[anveshithsadala]

Great video I love it I hope more people will get to know about this channel

[aayushgautam]

Really nice overview of star formation! Thank you for making this.

What determines the direction of the poles and the plane accretion disk?

[pDVDdsaoVhq]

2:31 somthing happens, something makes the dust and gas to form clumps. What's that, that's the whole question.

[AlphaOmegaInstitute]

This sounds reasonable, but I am stuck on how the gas clouds are able to clump together. Gravity seems to be too weak of a force and in space, gas clouds would more likely disperse, right? (Think of a shockwave going through a cloud of smoke.)

[rahulmaharaj]

Hi, I have a question. Why do dense clumps have a gravitational force stronger than the outward radiation pressure ?

[sparkydacat]

I have to describe how a star is formed for my explanation writing I’m in intermediate and this is quite confusing could you recommend some videos or sites that explain it more simply?

[nikitabhagat]

Very helpful. I am preparing for International space Olympiad with ur help😁

[davidrichardson]

The hydrogen sulfide gas in my butt starts collapsing to form a prototurd

[isaacyoung]

can you model the "snowball effect"? as spherical radius vrs time? what does that equation look like?

[alejandrovelezpalacio]

but the star formed first and material was ejected first in the form of a plane/disc before solar wind filled all directions

[vishalkadyan]

I have another question and really want to get the answer
During Big Bang what actually came out of the black hole?? I mean only energy in form of light or mass also????

[ioanbota]

Realy I like this video so much its interestyng

[pobinr]

One might think if a critical mass is req'd to form a star then all stars would be the same size & mass. I wonder why they aren't?
Amount of angular momentum perhaps?
