What is Star Formation in the Milky Way about?

- The document discusses star formation from interstellar medium (ISM), which comprises 99% gas (mainly hydrogen and helium) and 1% dust. - Under suitable conditions, clouds of ISM can collapse due to gravity to form protostars. The Jeans criterion determines whether an interstellar cloud is massive enough to collapse. - Protostars evolve into pre-main sequence stars and eventually become main sequence stars on the H-R diagram, completing the process of star formation.
