Life Cycle of Star Project
Storyboard Text
- What are you looking at sir?
- I find interest in the combination of gas and dust pulled together by gravity making a big bright ball in the sky.
- You see, when gas gains energy it explodes and creates atoms such as the one that made our sun!
- I never knew that! Tell me more!
- Why am I following this strange man..?
- Let me tell you! After roughly a few billion years, the star becomes a red giant but the hydrogen runs out and then rearranges itself. This sequence is called a Planetary Nebula and it tends to take many billions of years.
- That's neat! What happens after that?
- Some time after the Planetary Nebula loses its' nuclear fuel, what is left of the star (which is the core of the star) is now called the White Dwarf Star.
- Is that the end of the star?
- Nope! Eventually after tens to hundreds of billions of years the white dwarf cools into a black dwarf, emitting no energy.
- Well yes, that is part of the star cycle. The other part includes the big stars, but I must go!
- So... That's how a star is made?
- I have to go research stars as soon as I get home!
- Maybe I should kidnap him...
