Ace your homework & exams now with Quizwiz!

Supernova

A giant explosion

Global cluster

A group of stars that looks like a ball and co resin 1 million stars

Nebula

A large cloud of gas and dust in space

White dwarf

A left over center of an old star

Neutron star

A product of a supernova that is made out if neutrons

Hottest star

Blue main sequence

Black hole

Exerts such a gravitational pull that no light can escape

Which life cycle lasts the shortest

High mass

Who first started classifying and studying stars

Hubble

Which galaxy has the leftovers

Irregulars

These stars are going through nuclear fusion

Main sequence

Which stage is nuclear fusion in full effect

Main sequence

Brightest star

Red giant

Dimmest star

White dwarf

White dwarf

the sixth stage in a low mass stars life, the remains of the red giant is a glowing ball of gas about the size of earth. Nuclear fusion has stopped and the gas begins to cool.

Main sequence star

the third stage in every stars life, the star is in it's middle age, around 6 billion years old. 90% opf a star's life is in this stage.

Supernova

the fifth stage in a high mass stars life, after the red super giant expands it collapses in its self so rapidly that when it is done it explodes outwards.

Nebula

the first stage in every stars life.

Red super giant

the forth stage in a high mass star, it is very similar to the red giant but it expands faster, lasts longer, and gets bigger than the red giant.

Neutron star

the other way a high mass star can end up as is a neutron star. This is a star so dense that one table spoon would weigh as mush as 10 suns! they spin so fast and move like black holes, but we can see them. But there is no way we could defend our selves from a neutron star or a black hole, if they were to crash into us we would be dead.

Protostar

the second stage in every stars life, gravity pulls gases and dust together and nuclear fusion starts

Black dwarf

the seventh stage of a low mass star, the gases have stopped glowing and all that remains is a dark piece of space rock, our sun will end its life like this.

Black dwarf

The last stage no light it is dead

Which galaxy has the oldest stars

Elliptical

Coolest star

Red giant

Which stars will become white dwarfs

Red giants

Which life cycle lasts longer

Small/mass stars

What galaxy describes the Milky Way

Spiral

Which galaxy has the newest stars

Spiral

Open cluster

Stars closely grouped together along a spiral or discs of galaxies

Red giant

The forth stage in a low mass star's life, after the star has used up all it's hydrogen, it starts to cool and expand in an effort to start fusing helium atoms.

Oldest star

White dwarf
