It was the location that was important. Like Mac, I piled on some vegetation in the middle of the float, too. Used under cover, they worked well during both fall and spring, but in the spring you have more rats traveling so production should be higher then. I do feel using them in places that afford protection for the muskrats from raptors work best.
The birth of a star can typically occur due to the death of another star. There are huge dark clouds made of of gas and dust in space. These are called nebulas. When a nearby star explodes, a shockwave travels through the dark cloud. As the cloud collapses, energy is released, which causes it to heat up.
This is how the first stars were born. And just like the stars we have today, they were made up of roughly 73% hydrogen and 25% helium. These first stars were enormous and probably detonated as supernovae within a million years of forming.
