How does the contraction in a star forming cloud begin?
The cloud slowly separates into different sections and these sections then continue to shrink until contraction begins.
What is the life expectancy for the stars that you mentioned that were 100 times the mass of our sun?
The life expectancy will vary but these stars all had very short lives due to their massiveness
Why can protostars only be seen by infrared telescopes?
Protostars are enshrouded by clouds of dusty gas but infrared light can penetrate this gas and be picked up by our infrared telescopes.
How come start sometimes form two at a time in a binary system?
Between the contraction and protostar phases, the molecular cloud can separate. These separate bodies then continue through their life cycles together.
