>HOW TO BUILD A BIG STAR
>-----------------------
>The most massive stars in our galaxy weigh as much as 100 small stars like
>the Sun. How do such monsters form? Do they grow rapidly by swallowing
>smaller protostars within crowded star-forming regions? Some astronomers
>thought so, but a new discovery suggests instead that massive stars
>develop through the gravitational collapse of a dense core in an
>interstellar gas cloud via processes similar to the formation of low mass
>stars.
