Stellar Evolution
Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity. As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. Each new stage in stellar evolution is hence marked by a different energy generation mechanism.

Stellar Evolution
All stars form from clouds of gas and dust condensing in deep space. Only the chemical composition of this cloud, and the amount of material in the cloud that condenses into the actual star, determines what will happen to the star over its entire lifetime.
As an interstellar gas cloud starts to condense under its own gravitation, any tiny amount of spin that it has will become amplified, the way a whirling figure skater spins faster when he brings in his arms. Eventually, little whirlpools or eddies will form in this ever-more-rapidly-spinning collapsing cloud. It's these eddies that will eventually form star systems.
