- Wow! That's a lot of hot gas that suddenly came about! Be careful, its super dangerous over here!
- Actually... if we take a better look we can see something forming..yeah! Right there! We just witnessed the interstellar cloud phase!
- Watch as it gathers materials from its surrounds and grows to be just like its neighboring star friends!
- Look! That is called a Protostar. This is when a hot nebula increases pressure on itself and contracts into this star formality.
- Lets take a step back and observe from here so we don't find ourselves as part of that star.
- Right now, its absorbing the hydrogen gas like a sponge, which will determine the mass size of the star. This is the fusion process. As the hydrogen heats up, it FUSES into carbon and oxygen particles. As heat intensifies, more element combinations will happen like oxygen into silicon and sodium. all these elements help make the star larger and stronger!
- Now, the baby star will chill out and stay content in its size for most of its life. There's not much else for it to do after it's completed its growth stages, so now it'll just shine bright! This is called the main sequence by the way!
- Uh Oh, our star is losing heat.. which means its cooling down! It's even losing its bright shine.. this is not good
- if the star cools down too much, it'll become a black dwarf:( Luckily, it takes a very long time for a white dwarf star to cool off, so we still have time to observe it in all its beauty!!
