The Life Cycle of the Stars

Like humans, stars pass through different stages in their lives. They are born, they mature and, eventually, they die. However, unlike humans ...

... Most stars fall along the main sequence – upper left to lower right. These stars fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores and have a wide range of life spans, which depend on their mass. Higher mass stars on main sequence have shorter life spans. A star has a limited supply of core hydrogen and ther ...

At first, this crush of gravity makes the inside of the star hot enough to ignite a nuclear explosion. This explosion supports the star against gravity and makes it shine.
