The embryo inside the protostar is less massive than the envelope; most of the mass is still falling inward. 原恒星内部的胚胎的质量比包壳小,大部分物质一直在朝中心落去。
Thus, the infant science of protostar observation has a variety of tools at its disposal. Recently a team of international scientists discovered observable dead stars-or dark matter-at the edge of our own Milky Way galaxy. 这样一来,观测原恒星这门年轻的科学,就拥有许多种可以利用的工具了。最近,一组国际专家在我们的银河系边缘发现了可观测的死恒星&或叫黑洞。
The conditions in a protostar resemble far more closely in situation in red giants, most of whose volume is caught up in stormy convection. 原恒星的条件更加类似于红巨星的情形,红巨星体积的大部分都卷入剧烈的对流中。
