Stars are born from clouds of gas and dust in space, undergoing a fascinating transformation throughout their lives. This article explores the stages of a star's life cycle, from its formation in stellar nurseries to its eventual demise.
Stars begin their lives in nebulae, where gravity pulls together gas and dust. As the material condenses, it heats up, eventually igniting nuclear fusion in the core, marking the birth of a new star.
Once formed, stars spend the majority of their lives in a stable phase known as the main sequence. Here, they fuse hydrogen into helium, producing energy that powers the star. Over millions of years, stars evolve, leading to various end-of-life scenarios, including supernovae and black holes.
