  1. Stars STARS -Younjae Kim http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/Starsinthesky.jpg

  2. STARS • Stars are Luminous balls of plasma usually that burns bright in space burning and combining different materials and brightening the sky. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/Starsinthesky.jpg

  3. STARS • The Sun is a star as well that is the closest to our earth • Stars differ from each other in different ways http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/Starsinthesky.jpg

  4. STARS • Stars “live” by combining lighter elements such as heavier elements helium until it just cant fuse anymore and it explodes as a super nova. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/Starsinthesky.jpg

  5. Super Nova http://fm.cnbc.com/applications/cnbc.com/resources/img/editorial/2013/02/04/100432029-supernova-space-gettyp.530x298.jpg?v=1361975663

  6. Super Nova • Supernovas are catastrophic explosions that occurs when a star runs out of lighter elements to fuse and collapses as an explosion. • There are two types to a Super Nova one with Hydrogen and one without.

  7. Stars • The Sun is the closest star to our plant earth that burns at about 5778 Kelvin on the surface. • Our 2nd closest star is known as Proximacentauri http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b4/The_Sun_by_the_Atmospheric_Imaging_Assembly_of_NASA%27s_Solar_Dynamics_Observatory_-_20100819.jpg

  8. Stars • There are different kinds of stars that are in space • Super giants • Giants • White Dwarfs • Main Sequence http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/95/New_shot_of_Proxima_Centauri,_our_nearest_neighbour.jpg

  9. Super Giants • Super Giants are literally Giant Stars • Supergiants have masses from 8 to 12 times the Sun, and luminosities from about 10,000 to over a million times the Sun. They vary greatly in radius, usually from 30 to 500. They are massive enough to begin core helium burning gently before the core becomes degenerate, without a flash, and without the strong dredge-ups that lower-mass stars experience. They go on to successively ignite heavier elements, usually all the way to iron. • Some famous Super Giants are Betelgeuse and Antares

  10. Stars • Stars that are along a mystical line are known as main sequence stars. • Main sequence stars are unique because they run from coolest to hottest, from smallest to largest. • Some famous main sequence stars are Spica, Sirius, etc.

  11. White Dwarfs • What are White Dwarfs? • White dwarfs are Giants and Super giants that run out of fuel entirely.

  12. Nuclear Fusion • Stars burn through what is known as nuclear Fusion. • Stars first fuse Hydrogen then helium then other heavier materials in order to keep burning and living.
