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.
Before nuclear ignition, a star is usually called a protostar. star formation. The first stage where it is a star, and not some form of condensing nebula, is called a T Tauri star. They are formed in the Stellar Nursery and I think its just known as Star formation. Maybe I'll be enlightened too on whether there is a proper name.
