The Life Of A Star
Storyboard Text
- A nebula is a cloud which consists of gas or dirt/dust (e.g. cloud formed after a star explodes).
- I massive star is much bigger than an average star.
- Nebula-This is a nebula. When it collects enough mass, it begins to collapse under its own gravity.
- Massive Star- When nuclear fusion begins, a star is born. If the cloud of dust is large enough then it will create a massive star.
- Supernova's light up space with colors and essentially become even brighter than the other nearby stars.
- Red/Orange Super giant-So much energy is released that the star swells into a super giantThe core gets so hot that the helium can fuse into heavier elements (e.g. carbon and silicon)
- When silicon in the core is eventually transformed into iron thenonce the core becomes iron, no further fusion can occur.
- Supernova-So the core would collapse without anything to burn, which results into a huge explosive called a supernova.
- Black hole-If the remaining core is 3 solar masses or greater, the collapse of the star cannot be stopped.The neutron star continues to shrink until it finally becomes a black hole.
- Black holes suck everything in due to having a tremendous gravitational pull.
