1
New cards

Blue Supergiant

A massive, hot, and highly luminous star formed when a very heavy star runs out of core hydrogen and its core contracts and heats up intensely.

2
New cards

Red Giant

A large, cool star formed near the end of a low-to-medium mass star's life when its core runs out of hydrogen, contracts, and heats up, causing the outer layers to expand and cool.

3
New cards

Red Supergiant

An exceptionally massive, large, and cool star formed when a high-mass star runs out of core hydrogen, causing its outer layers to expand on an enormous scale.

4
New cards

White Dwarf

A small, dense, faint star that is the leftover, burning-out core of a dead low-to-medium mass star.

5
New cards

Supernova

A colossal stellar explosion that occurs at the end of a massive star's life cycle, releasing massive amounts of energy and radiation.

6
New cards

Neutron Star

An extremely small, incredibly dense star made almost entirely of packed neutrons, formed from the collapsed core of a massive star after a supernova.

7
New cards

Black Hole

An object with gravity so intense that nothing, not even light, can escape it, formed from the collapsed core of an extremely massive star after a supernova.

8
New cards

Black Dwarf

The theoretical final stage of a low-mass star, created when a white dwarf cools down completely and no longer emits heat or light.

9
New cards

Yellow Star (Main Sequence)

A stable, mid-sized star (like our Sun) that is actively fusing hydrogen into helium in its core to release energy.

10
New cards

Planetary Nebula

A glowing cloud of gas and dust shed by a dying, low-to-medium mass star at the end of its red giant phase.
