AI overview
A protostar is a newly forming star that is still pulling in material from the gas cloud around it, representing the earliest stage of star development. Protostars matter because studying them helps us understand how stars like our Sun form and evolve, starting from the collapse of a gas cloud and continuing until nuclear fusion begins.
