One could say talent and a lot of practice. :-) The real answer begins with a force that triggers the process. From Wikipedia: "The formation of a star begins with a gravitational instability inside a molecular cloud, often triggered by shock waves from supernovae (massive stellar explosions) or the collision of two galaxies (as in a starburst galaxy). Once a region reaches a sufficient density of matter to satisfy the criteria for Jeans Instability it begins to collapse under its own gravitational force." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star The second thing is the accumulation of sufficient mass to form a star. Estimates vary on the minimum mass, but it's at least 75 times the mass of Jupiter. With that criterion met, gravitational collapse results in heat through compression of the gases. When the heat is sufficient to initiate nuclear fusion, a star is born.
