For less massive stars like the Sun the process that brings them into existence is quite well understood — as clouds of gas are pulled together under gravity, density and temperature increase, and nuclear fusion begins)-- but for the most massive stars buried in regions like RCW 106 this explanation does not seem to be fully adequate.

Astronomers think that as the sun gradually grew hotter, it pushed Venus to a threshold temperature that set the runaway greenhouse effect in motion.
