Where does a cycle of a star begin?

Stars usually begin their lives in stellar nurseries: (relatively) dense clouds of interstellar gases. Critical densities may be achieved when nearby stars go nova, at which time pockets in the nebula collapse under their own weight to form a protostar. If the mass of the protostar is sufficient, further gravitational collapse will cause the temperature and pressure in the core to rise to the point where hydrogen starts to fuse. At that point, a star is born.
