Where in your galaxy does most star formation take place?

Answer 1

New stars form in younger galaxies and nebula that have enough cosmic matter to form the foundation for new stars. These galaxies are commonly referred to as star nurseries.

New stars form most everywhere, but particularly in dark nebulae

Answer 2

A very good example of young stars can be seen with the naked eye -- the constellation known as the Pleiades, also known as "the Seven Sisters". This is a small, V-shaped constellation of stars in the constellation Taurus. The stars in this constellation are less than 100 million years old, just babes in celestial terms.

in the spiral arms

Answer 3

new stars form in a nebula. a nebula is a cloud of dust and gas pulled together by gravity . the temperature rises. hydrogen changes into helium .the particles release energy. The particles become a star.

Answer 4

Star formation is the process by which dense regions, referred to as stellar nurseries, collapse to form stars. Another theory proposes that new stars may form by the coalescence of two stars of lower mass.

Answer 5

A star is formed out of cloud of cool, dense molecular gas. In order for it to become a potential star, the cloud needs to collapse and increase in density.

There are two common ways this can happen: it can either collide with another dense molecular cloud or it can be near enough to encounter the pressure caused by a giant supernova. Several stars can be born at once with the collision of two galaxies. In both cases, heat is needed to fuel this reaction, which comes from the mutual gravity pulling all the material inward.

Answer 6

Nebulae.

For example, most scientists believe that our own sun (and planetary system) along with some nerby stars were formed by the collapse of a nebulae originated by a supernova.

why is that?

Because there exist some heavy elements here on Earth like uranium. And uranium is only formed in the core of massive stars (you can take my word for that or investigate on nuclear fusion). These massive stars usually end as supernovas or black holes (but of course this particular supernova did not go into black hole stage or Earth would not be here today).

Answer 7

Stars are formed in Nebulae (the plural of nebula)....

Answer 8

Stars typically form in the nebula cloud disks of newly forming galaxies.

Answer 9

Various types of Pressure Concussions 'play' various roles, yet a constant requirement is a nice thick cloud of gas and dust to form those accretion disks.
