The Life Cycle of Stars
... Nebulas extend over vast distances—thousands of light years in space—and the gases within them are unevenly distributed. When a nebula reaches a certain density, gravitational forces begin to pull the gas and dust particles close together, causing clumps to form inside the main cloud of the nebula. ...

Astronomical spectroscopy
Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, which radiates from stars and other hot celestial objects. Spectroscopy can be used to derive many properties of distant stars and galaxies, such as their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance, luminosity, and relative motion using Doppler shift measurements.
