Stellar Evolution

Come up with a 1- 3 page creative story that creates an real-life analogy to our Sun's life cycle.  This can be a detective mystery, or a an 8-12  page illustrated story book for a 4th grader.  Your goal is to tell me about fusion, the stellar life cycle, the elements found in the stars, and the energy and neutrinos produced based on our work of the last week.

Stellar Life Cycle

Questions to Consider
*what is the life cycle of our star?
*what is the HR diagram?
*what are characteristics of each of the stellar stages?
*how do gravity and pressure affect one another through the life cycle of a star? How does the balance change through each stage?
* What is the main sequence?
* How does the brightness of our star change over its lifetime?
* How does the temperature of our star change over its lifetime?


How is the work of Annie Cannon connected to this system?
