This animation illustrates the process of triggered star formation. First, a massive star in its final death throes explodes or "goes supernova," shooting a shock wave through surrounding clouds of gas and dust. Next, the shock wave compresses the gas and dust, gravity kicks in, and finally, a new wave of stars is born. The whole progression, from the death of one star to the birth of others, takes millions of years to complete.

Learn to read the bloody titles. A triggered star formation implies that there is a naturaly occuring procces and that procces is gravity. Gravity causes clouds of moleculse to collapse onto themselves, once the collapsed structure attains certain pressures and temeratures at it's core nuclear fusion takes place and thus a star i born. This video only shows that in certain conditions the natural collapse can be accelerated by a supernova close by.
this is only one of a number of theories, the process by which massive stars (the one that went supernova) is not yet fully understood. and stars dont only form by triggering like this, they can also form spontaneously
However, if you look at things from a non-religious perspective, clouds of matter, mostly if not entirely hydrogen, which formed after the big bang would have condensed over time to form the first, supermassive stars with masses of over 150 times that of our Sun. Astrophysicists believe that such stars would only have lasted a few million years.
uhmm im like really young and i just started reasearching all these things and im pretty sure what made all the stars was the big bang because it created everything
