After a pause, star formation begins again with the gathering together of more gas (centre). The discs of gas that form around the protostars also contain a lot of mass and gravity can also cause protostars to form within these discs. For example, around the first binary, 3 objects form, and several form in the large disc in the image above (bottom).
