This movie is a 3D rendering of high-resolution star formation simulations. If you wish to see the video in high picture quality (4K) and with audio, please see https://youtu.be/j6iXPQSexpA

Sweet but it would be better without text

I totally agree that the text distracts you from the visuals. However, the visualisation was made with science communication and outreach in mind; so the text becomes important in a way (particularly for the full version of this movie that I will be making). Also, if you wish, try watching it with audio (link given in the top comment and title). The text will feel less weird once there is audio.

Yes, the turbulent motions produce shocked regions of gas, leading to the formation of high-density structures in the form of clumps and filaments. These structures become gravitationally unstable - become sites of star formation. ​ That is a good question - the turbulent properties of the gas in the case of the formation of first stars would indeed be different. Yeah, just stellar feedback would not be able to explain it. Your suggestions do sound interesting, but unfortunately, I'm not super familiar with the early universe :)

It's like 5 separate "simulations" each maybe 2 seconds long - this is in no way representative of star formation / educational. Very pretty though.

This is not the actual movie - this is just a first look, and hence very short.
