The core is roughly spherical, with filaments of gas falling onto it at nearly 2,000 m.p.h. (3,200 k/h), bulking it up more every second. The proto-star is cold now, but as it continues to compress under its own gravity, it will become so dense and hot that it bursts into nuclear fire. The resulting heat and radiation will drive off much of the surrounding gas before it can become part of the newborn star.
