- Life cycle of a star with mass similar to the sun
- Life cycle of a star with mass greater than the sun
- Nebula
- Protostar
- Massive main sequence star
- Red supergiant
- Supernova
- Neutron star
- small, dense star
- Black hole
- formed when a red supergiant collapses under its own gravity
- formed if what is left after the supernova (explosion) is three or four times the mass of the sun
- Neutron star
- very large star that has used up most of its hydrogen
- Supernova
- stable star, hotter brighter, more mas than our sun
- Red supergiant
- hot cloud of gas, not hot enough for nuclear reactions to occur
- Massive main sequence star
- cloud of dust
- Protostar
- role of gravity
- pulls nebula together
- pulls red giant together to form white dwarf
- pulls remains of star after supernova together to form a black hole
