    • 3 Pages

    Stars come in a variety of sizes, luminosities, surface temperatures and masses. Through these different characteristics, it is found that there is a pattern (with some special cases). This pattern was first recognized by Danish astronomer Ejnar Hertzsprung and American astronomer Henry Norris Russel during the first decade of the 20th century. They plotted various stars' luminosities on one axis and spectral types on the other. This showed the pattern. These patterns are shown on graphs and are

    Neutron stars are “an incredibly object made of neutron’s, like a giant atomic nucleus.” In the year 1934 two astronomers at CIT made predictions that a collapse of a large star or sun would produce a neutron star. When a star 's mass exceeds roughly 1.4M and has a iron core. It is no longer able to support itself, the core collapse from exponential forces. This is referred to as a type ii supernova or a core-collapse supernova. These newly discovered neutron stars had notable characteristics.

    The Life Cycle of Stars Stars go through tremendous things in the course of their life. In a star’s life they go through eight different phases. These phases can take many years to go through. When a star is made up it starts needing. Gas and dust in space to form what is called a nebula. Nebulae are the birthplace of stars.

    • 3 Pages

    Stars are born of gas and dust and have a life cycle based on their original mass. Stars are not alive, but they go through stages. There are many sources that prove that this fact is true! These sources include the life cycle of stars, star classification, and types of galaxies. These different life cycles are for the high-mass stars and the low-mass stars. There are 3 types of galaxies. These galaxies are Irregular, Spiral, and Elliptical. Irregular galaxies have no defined shape and have mostly

    Star Formation Essay

    • 536 Words
    • 3 Pages

    the universe is recycled constantly through the formation and evolution of stars. Clouds of atomic gas cool and condense, forming cold, dense clouds of molecular gas. Within these clouds of cold gas, stars can form. It takes just some push, pull, or magnetic field to cause the cloud to fall into gravitational collapse. Once the cloud is collapsing, the road to becoming a star is an inevitable one. The formation of a star involves many different stages. In the beginning, there is just dust and a gas

    A Star's Death Of A Star

    • 335 Words
    • 2 Pages

    All stars are born in nebulae. Nebulae are huge cold clouds of gas and dust. The formation of protostars requires huge clouds of gas and dust collapsing under gravitational forces. The stage of a protostar last an approximate of 50 million years. As stars grow, they also expand. When the core runs out of hydrogen and helium, the contacts and outer layers of the core expand, become cold, and the brightness decreases. This is also known as a Red Giant or a Red Supergiant which mainly consists of the

    Also like cars, a much larger star burns more fuel than a smaller star. This difference in “fuel efficiency” forms the basis for how stars receive categorization. In the eco-friendly section of the star dealership, one may find the most humble of all celestial objects: The red dwarf. As the name implies, they usually only possess half the size of our sun or less. The red dwarf’s small size and lack of resources in its creation places it firmly as the most common star in the universe; though, their
