What Are Stars?
Stars are luminous spheroids of plasma, held together by their gravity and performing nuclear fusion in their core. They light up our night sky and have been the muse for countless myths and sciences.
Types of Stars
Main Sequence Stars
The majority of stars in our galaxy are main sequence stars, like our sun. They fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores.
White Dwarfs
What's left after a red giant sheds its outer layers, these stars are incredibly dense and cool slowly over time.
Star Formations and Life Cycle
Stars are born in nebulae, undergo a life determined by their mass, and ultimately end as either a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole. π
