However, if it is a high-mass star, the star shall convert into a Red Supergiant, the same as a Red Giant, except bigger.Ħ -> After the low-mass star has converted into a Red Giant, it will eventually start "shedding its skin," until all that is remaining is essentially the bare bones of a Red Giant (its core), surrounded by a beautiful cloud of dust and gas, the Planetary Nebula. If the star (after the stage of the Main Sequence) is a low-mass star, it will follow the shorter route, however, it will live longer than the high-mass stars (since high-mass stars utilize their energy unsparingly), who take a different, longer route than the low-mass stars.ĥ -> After the Main Sequence stage, if the star is a low-mass star, it will convert to a Red Giant (which our Sun will become in a few billion years after imploding upon itself and engulfing our planet). The Main Sequence was the ultimate divider because it creates two paths that stars can take after their lives have been completed in the respective stage. One of those "sections" is called Main Sequence and is a small, thin band of stars that live out most of their lives in this category as they have achieved equilibrium, unlike its predecessors. The aforementioned sequences might be a little bit difficult to comprehend, so I will "decipher" them for you.ġ -> The process always begins with an Interstellar Medium, which is the space between stars and galaxies that is composed of many combinations of gases that can eventually transform into a star.Ģ -> After the Interstellar Medium comes to the Star-forming Nebula, which, as the name suggests, forms stars, and is mostly comprised of dust and gas.ģ -> A Protostar is formed and is the next stage after the Star-forming Nebula due to violent activity that is very similar to that of a black hole and essentially, gathers the dust and cloud surrounding it to create an early form of a star.Ĥ -> A diagram is used to classify stars accordingly using multiple factors and some of those are temperature, luminosity (brightness), and color - sometimes mass. Interstellar medium, Star-forming Nebula, Protostar, Main Sequence, Red Giant/Red Supergiant, Planetary Nebula/Supernova, White Dwarf/Black Hole/Neutron Star, Black Dwarf. A black hole or a red giant is created through a series of sequences that precede the result of a black hole/red giant.
