    STARS

    Stars are born from clouds of dust and gas called nebulas. As a nebula contracts under gravity, heat is generated at its center and a protostar forms. Over millions of years, the protostar gains mass and becomes a full-fledged star fuelled by nuclear fusion. As stars age, they evolve through different stages depending on their mass until their death in a white dwarf, nova, supernova or black hole.

    INTRODUCTION
    Stellar evolution is the process by which a star changes over the course
    of time.
    It's depends on the mass of the star. Its lifetime can range from a few
    million years for the most massive to trillions of years for the least
    massive, which is considerably longer than the age of the universe.
    NEBULA
    NEBULA
    Like humans, stars birds lives and dies. Their bird places are cold and
    enormous clouds of dust and gas called nebulas. A familiar example of a
    dust cloud is the Orion Nebula. When the nebula has the enough size, it
    starts to contract by his own gravitational attraction. As the cloud
    contracts, the material at the center begins to heat up. The center of
    the heat nebula, that one day will become into a star, is called protostar.
    As the nebula collapses, the center starts to accumulate dust and gas.
    Not all this material ends up as part of a star. The remaining dust can
    become planets, asteroids, or comets or may remain as dust. A star with
    the size of our Sun needs about 50 million years to mature from the
    nebula to the adulthood. Stars are fuelled by the nuclear fusion of
    hydrogen to form helium in their deep interior. The energy that leaves
    the central region the necessary pressure to prevent the star from
    collapsing under its own weight and the energy by which it shines.
    White
    Dwarfs
    White Dwarfs.
    For average stars like the Sun, the process of ejecting its
    outer layers continues until the stellar core is exposed.
    This dead, but still ferociously hot stellar cinder is called
    a White Dwarf. These types of stars are very common, and
    our own Sun will be a white dwarf billions of years from
    n o w.
    NOVAS
    NOVAS
    A nova occurs when the white dwarf, which is the dense
    core of a once-normal star, gets gas from its nearby
    companion star. When enough gas builds up on the surface
    of the white dwarf it makes an explosion. For a brief time,
    the system can shine up to a million times brighter than
    normal. As long as it continues to take gas from its
    companion star, the white dwarf can produce nova
    explosions.
    SUPERNOVA
    SUPERNOVA
    Supernova is a violent stellar explosion that can shine as
    brightly as an entire galaxy of billions of normal stars.

    white stars “steals” gas from another star. If it
    accumulates a large amount of gas, it can produce a
    thermonuclear explosion that blast the star to bits, leaving
    n o t h i n g b e h i n d . Ty p e I I s u p e r n o v a e a r e t h e f i n a l s t a g e i n
    the evolution of stars that are at least eight times as
    massive as the Sun. When a star reaches a point where it
    can no longer produce nuclear energy in its core a star
    reaches a point where it can no longer produce nuclear
    energy in its core. This causes the star ’s core to collapse
    to form a neutron star or black hole.
    CURIOSITIES
    CURIOSITIES
    After billions of years the stars can go out which can do
    two things:
    They can expand to take more matter and use it like fuel.
    They can explote causing a supernova.
    If a star produce a supernova if would provocate a lot of
    waves of dust and gas and we can wath it from the earth
    with a telescop.
    Normally a small star live more years than a big one
    All stars are make with the same components
    Stars can be of different colours: Blue, white, red and
    even gold.
    The sun is a dwarf star
    If we coud travel to the nearest star, it would take more
    than 70.000 years

    ASSESMENT
    PERSONAL
    ASSESMENT
    In my opinion, this is a very interesting and important
    t erm fo r s t u dy, b ecaus e i t ' s v ery b eau t i ful t o see how a
    star evolve and is vey important.
    With this knowledge we can know when a star is going to
    explode or when it will disappear, which would allow us to
    predict the explosion and take advantage of it.
