Birth: Stellar Nebula 🍼

Stars begin their journey amidst vast stellar nebulas. These magnificent clouds of dust and gas gather under gravity's embrace to form a protostar, setting the stage for cosmic brilliance.

Main Sequence: Shining Brightly ✨

Having ignited nuclear fusion, stars spend the majority of their lives in the main sequence, converting hydrogen to helium, illuminating the universe with their radiant energy.

Red Giant: The Dramatic Expansion 🌟

Once out of hydrogen, stars swell into red giants. Their outer layers expand magnificently while the core contracts and heats, giving way to various evolutionary paths.

The Grand Finale: Supernova or White Dwarf 💥

Depending on their mass, stars may explode as supernovae, becoming neutron stars or black holes. Less massive stars transform into serene white dwarfs, gradually cooling over eons.
