the life of stars
Storyboard Description
due this FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

- How are stars made?
- Lets Google it.
- Our sun was once a large cloud of gas and dust spread out in space. This is called a nebula.
- After the nebula stage, there is a small star from the intense gravity, a protostar.
- After billions of years the protostar has gained its size and if its a low-medium mass star it will be called a main sequence star. Our sun is a main sequence star and has an approximate lifespan for 10 billion years.
- A Planetary Nebula is a cloud of dust and gas. The difference between a high and low main sequence star is that the high main sequence star has a much bigger mass and lives a shorter lifespan than a low main sequence star.
- Eventually, The sun will enter the planetary nebula stage when it uses up all its fuel. But before it enters that stage, it turns into a red giant. Then when it becomes that stage of the stars life, a planetary nebula will occur. Which means everything in the stars solar system will be burned to death. But fortunately thats when this current generation is dead. so don't worry!
- After the planetary nebula, A white dwarf is left behind. A white dwarf is the blueish-white core that was left behind from the star. Luckily because our sun is a main sequence star, We most likely won't experience a black hole or a neutron star.
- A Black Dwarf is when the white dwarf completely cooled and no longer produces light.
- What's a Neutron star and a black hole?
- Let me check. Hey, google what's a neutron star and a black hole?
- woahhh....
- If the nebula turns into a high-mass star then the path for a high-mass star may lead to a supergiant.
- After thousands of years, eventually the star will blow up and this stage is called a supernova. The supernova can lead to a neutron star or a black hole.
- DONT GET TOO CLOSE! The neutron's gravity can crush you! A neutron star is the core of the supergiant.
- AHHH!!!!!
- DONT GET TOO CLOSE TO THIS TOO! A black hole has an intense gravitational pull that light can't even resist!
- I'm soo tired... Space is a pretty cool place!
- That was crazy.
- Omg! Ms.Yerxa you wouldn't believe what happened last night!
- What happened!
- Google took me to space!
- Umm. Let's ask Siri if thats possible.
