Detailed explanation-1: -The dust and gases in a nebula are very spread out, but gravity can slowly begin to pull together clumps of dust and gas. As these clumps get bigger and bigger, their gravity gets stronger and stronger. Eventually, the clump of dust and gas gets so big that it collapses from its own gravity.
Detailed explanation-2: -For cores of around 60–130 M ☉, the fusion of oxygen and heavier elements is so energetic that the entire star is disrupted, causing a supernova.
Detailed explanation-3: -These enabled them to see the shock wave striking the solar nebula, compressing it and forming a parabolic shock front that enveloped the cloud, creating fingerlike indentations in the cloud’s surface.
Detailed explanation-4: -Supernovae remnants can give off visible light, ultraviolet light, radio waves and X-rays.
