Stars

dwarfs, neutron stars formed when the original star cannot support themselves against gravitational collapse by generating thermal pressure. They are born from once large stars that grew to be four to eight times the size of our sun before exploding. After the explosion, the only part of the star that remains is its core, but it no longer produces nuclear fusion. The neutron star density causes protons and elections to combine into neutrons, which is how the star got its name. Neutron stars rotate in space

The first stage in the life cycle of a star is the Nebula. A Nebula is a swirling sea of dust and gas but, it is not a star yet. Over time, the dust and gas will collect into a ball that sweeps through the Nebula. The ball of gas and dust then begins to grow. The Nebula becomes a Protostar, the second stage of a star’s life cycle, once the ball of gas and dust starts to shrink because of it’s own mass and gravity. The Protostar is still not a star yet. At this stage it can be up to 100x larger than

Children of the Stars Anisa Noor SES4U November 24, 2014 Children of the Stars Humans are made of stars. This may sound like common poetry but there is scientific evidence to back up such a statement. The human’s biological makeup is proven to have come from the remnants of a supernova, in fact, almost all life on Earth can originate back to the core of a star. Before we were micro-organisms in our evolutionary ancestry we were particles inside a star, and those particles remain within us today

The study of our stars is very important, astronomers study them to predict what will happen to our sun, which directly affects us. The first objects I observed were Albireo, two binary stars. They are about three hundredths to four hundredths and ten light years away. According to Stauffer Mark T from the American Psychological Association, “Albireo’s stunning colors provide a vivid contrast that has earned this double recognition as the most beautiful in the sky. Albireo is easily split using

larger than life Mr. Jacks, speaking to a reporter in a live interview. Located in the background, she picked out many other recognizable faces from the hanger. Looking up, through the open roof of the observatory she really could thank her lucky stars, and for Kate the first part of her dream had just come

can tell you and which star is hot and which star is not, the absolute, magnitude , color, temperature and luminosity, and location of stars on an H.R. diagram. An H.R. diagram is abbreviated for Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, one of the most useful and powerful plots in astrophysics, but is also very effective in stellar astronomy. It’s named after the Danish and American astronomers in the early Twentieth Century. The diagram presents and illustrates the various sizes of stars, like a scatter plot

THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE STARS The Life Cycle of the Stars SCI 350 January 12, 2006 Abstract Stars come in many definitions and in many forms today, there are Rock Stars, Movie Stars, There is even star shaped cereal for children but the most important stars we have our in our solar system. Lets look at the stars in the sky and space their origins of birth there attributes of life and there accolades in death. The Life Cycle of the Stars To discover the stars origin we look for its definition

Normal stars (like the Sun) shine because there is nuclear fusion inside them, hydrogen nuclei fuse together to form helium nuclei, helium nuclei fuse together to form carbon nuclei, and so on. Nuclear fusion generates heat and light which make the stars shine. Also, this heat provides outwards pressure which balances the inward gravitational pull, making the star stable. This inward gravitational pull exist for every object - you, me, the earth, the sun, other stars, etc. Every atom of an object

Cosmic Nurseries - Mommy, Where do Stars Come From? Since my entire thesis for this paper is about how a star is born, I guess the first thing I should start out with is by telling you exactly what a star is. Stars are self-luminous gaseous spheres. They shine by generating their own energy and radiating it off into space. The stars' fuel for energy generation is the stuff they are made of --hydrogen, helium, carbon, etc. -- which they burn by converting these elements into heavier elements

A neutron star is created from an old, burnt out star. When the core of the star has burnt out and turned into iron, energy is no longer being produced and the core of the star condenses very quickly. This compacts all of the protons (+) and electrons (-) creating neutrons (o) and neutrinos which are particles that do not carry a charge but are similar to electrons. Yes, this is probably where the name “Neutron Star” came from.   During the condensing of the star’s core, the neutrinos are able to
