IntroductionPeople have always been fascinated with the stars above. One can see this fascination in poetry or even in the astronomy class that is dedicated to stars. A star is defined as a ball of gas composed of hydrogen and helium (The Astrophysics Spectator 2004).The formation of stars is a question that fascinates many.
No one has ever witnessed the formation of a star so only theories can be formed. One theory is found in the religious scriptures of the Bible and the other is scientific explanation. The background section gives a brief description about both. The findings section provides further detail for better understanding. In the discussion section, the group members will give a personal opinion of the information found. In the last section, the conclusion summarizes theories discussed throughout the paper.

The temperature and the density of the cloud increase as the collapsing occurs. The star will form in the middle of this cloud (IPAC, NASA, n.d.).
