You'd know I'm too young for dealing with shit like this then lol... That last quote triggered something, I kept seeing the words angular momentum pop up everywhere lately. I didn't think it was worth looking into at the time but then I found this...

Abstract
The formation of a star in a plasma cloud dust is discussed. A dusty plasma cloud in space has a gravitational instability which allows star formation even at orders of magnitude below the Jean's limit for gravitational collapse. This instability leads to a stellesimal accretion which is analogous to the planetesimal accretion. If the law of isochronism which holds for planetesimal accretion is applied to the formation of our sun, it gives an acceptable angular momentum to the early sun. Furthermore, the situation in the solar environment is reconcilable with the initial condition for formation of planets.

Let us now consider the angular momentum carried off by the solar wind. Angular momentum loss is a crucially important topic in astrophysics,
since only by losing angular momentum can large, diffuse objects, such as interstellar gas clouds, collapse under the influence of gravity to produce small, compact objects, such as stars and proto-stars. [

So, in conjunction with all the threads about the clouds, we could see the birth of a new star or planet(s).
