Does the cold streaming gas heat up or cool down when it enters the central cloud?
This frame from Figure 16.12 is from a supercomputer model of the formation of one of the first stars in the universe. Color indicates gas temperature: Blue and green represent cool gas (100—300 K), orange and red represent warm gas (500—3000 K), and yellow represents gas at intermediate temperatures (300—500 K). Use the information in the figure to answer the following questions.
The cold gas heats up when it enters the central cloud.
