Yeah, and considering we have a star right next to this planet, keeping us alive, you'd think we'd know a lot more about their formations. I find stars to be some of the most bizarre objects we humans can see. Few other things can match their size, age and enormous, almost supernatural power.
Well it’s two things. One, it’s a very short process, and two, it’s difficult to observe the process. Stars are very dim when they are first forming.
