Not all stars meet the same fate. Some dwindle quietly into the night. Others blow up in a blaze of glory.
Today, we're going to take a look at the life cycle from two different places. The first thinks of the life of our star as a journey from birth to death. It is found here. Another is found here and focuses on stars beyond our own.
Concepts to consider:
a) what is a HR diagram?
b) what are the phases of our sun from life to death?
c) who is Annie Cannon, and why is she significant?
d) what is the fate of 50x or more massive than the sun?
e) what are some different stellar endpoints?
f) why is electromagnetic light the probe we use to understand the universe.
