  • molecular clouds - Dust clouds and gas clouds, referred to as
  • gravitational energy - Energy that pulls the molecular clouds causing it to collapse.
  • big bang nucleosynthesis - what is the first stage's of cosmic
  • stellar formation and evolution - this is the second stage of the cosmic.
  • stellar explosion or supernova - this is the last stage of cosmic.
