Background info.
•Ancient civilizations imagined that groups of stars formed pictures called constellations.
•Many constellations are named after animals or mythological characters.

Birth of a Star
•stars are born in a nebula
•a nebula is a dark, cool cloud of dust and gas
•our galaxy has mostly hydrogen and a little helium gas

•nebula becomes dense (thick and heavy) and starts to contract
•gravity squeezes dust particles to the center, gravitational energy changes into heat energy

Protostar (developing)
•gravity squeezes for millions of years and temperature slowly rises
•when its hot enough it emits red light
•still too cool for nuclear fusion...

•contraction continues and the core reaches up to 10 million Kelvins
•pressure in the core is high enough for nuclear fusion to start and a star is born
•nuclear fusion: when atomic nuclei join together to form a heavier nucleus, energy is released, aka nucleosynthesis

•heat from hydrogen fusion causes gas pressure inside the star to increase

Main-Sequence Star
•hydrogen fusion continues for billions of years until it runs out of hydrogen
•stable stars like our sun will burn hydrogen for about 10 billion years
•our sun is about 5 billion years old

Red Giants•hydrogen fusion in the core ends
and the core contracts (gravity)
•hydrogen fusion still occurs in the outer layers and they expand
•surface temp. cools and turns red but the core stays hot and changes helium into carbon (nucleosynthesis!!!)

Burnout and Death
•all stars eventually run out of fuel and collapse
•low-mass stars and medium mass stars use up their hydrogen and collapse into a white dwarf

Massive Death•massive stars explode in a
supernova, debris is ejected as stardust...eventually gravity pushes it in
•dying stars that use up hydrogen produce helium (fusion), over time helium fuses to become heavier elements like lithium through iron (nucleosynthesis)

•black holes are remains of massive stars that have exploded, they are hot, dense and have strong gravity
•when matter is pulled into it, the matter disappears forever
