Lifecycle of a star

Cards (15)

  • Brown Dwarf - The substellar objects that have more mass than the biggest gas giant planets , but less than the least massive main sequence star
  • Neutron star - it is the collapsed core of a massive supergiant star which had a total mass of between 10 and 25 solar masses possibly more if the star was especially metal rich
  • White Dwarf - A star that has used up all its fuel and collapsed to form a dense, hot ball of plasma.
  • Red giant star - This forms after a star have run out of hydrogen fuel for nuclear fusion and has begun the process of dying a star maintains its stability through a fine balance between its own gravity which holds it together and the outwards pressure from ongoing thermonuclear fusion taking place at its core
  • Dust and Gas - a nebula is a cloud of and in space
  • Super Nova - the biggest explosion that humans have ever seen each blast is the extremely bright super powerful explosion of a star
  • UY Scuti - It is the largest star in the universe observed fo far
  • Bok Globule - an isolated and relatively small dark nebulae containing dense cosmic dust and gas from which star formation may take place
  • Lifecycle of a star - An ongoing process of formation burning fuel and dispersal of material when all the fuel is used up
  • protostar - A very young star that is still gathering mass from its parent molecular cloud it is the earlist stage of star formation
  • Hypergiant - A very rare type of star that has an extremely high luminosity mass size and mass loss because of its exreme stellar winds
  • Main Sequence - the classification of stars which appear on plots of stallar colour versus brightness as a continuous and distinctive band
  • Black hole - a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out
  • Black dwarf - A theoretical stellar remnant , specifically a white dwarf that has cooled suffieciently to no longer emit significant heat or light
  • Nebula - A distinct luminescent part of interstellar medium which can consist of ionized neutral or molecular hydrogen and also cosmic dust
