#3222: Star Formation

[A glowing dot is in a field of clouds, speaking to itself.]

Dot: I think I did a good job with this universe.

Dot: Pressure waves dance through gas clouds.

Dot: They clump together and then pressure pushes them apart.

[The dot observes some more densely gathering of clouds.]

Dot: Oh weird, that big clump of clouds is staying together.

Dot: Their gravity is overcoming the pressure and more gas is falling in.

[More of the increasingly fragmentary clouds start to fall into a nascent star.]

Dot: It's not stopping!

Dot: The heat is rising but the collapse is only accelerating!

Dot: I messed up bad. I messed up bad.

[There is now a shining star in place of the dense field of clouds, with a few small clouds only at a distance.

Dot: NOOOOOOOO!!!

Dot: My beautiful clouds!

Dot: Ruined! It's all ruined!
