The Jeans mass is named after the British physicist Sir James Jeans, who considered the process of gravitational collapse within a gaseous cloud. He was able to show that, under appropriate conditions, a cloud, or part of one, would become unstable and begin to collapse when it lacked sufficient gaseous pressure support to balance the force of gravity.

The horse really wanted to get up close and personal with the donkey in the footage.Who could blame him? The baby donk was positively precious. He looked like something out of a movie.
As gas clouds move into the density wave, the local mass density increases. Since the criteria for cloud collapse (the Jeans instability) depends on density, a higher density makes it more likely for clouds to collapse and form stars. As the compression wave goes through, it triggers star formation on the leading edge of the spiral arms.
