    1) Stars begin as clouds of gas and dust called nebulae that collapse under gravity to form baby stars called protostars. 2) Most stars, like our Sun, spend their main sequence life cycle fusing hydrogen into helium through nuclear fusion reactions at their cores. 3) When a star runs out of hydrogen, it expands and cools to become a red supergiant as heavier elements are formed through fusion.
