White Dwarf Stars Near The Earth
... Sirius B is the companion to Sirius, which is the brightest star in Earth’s sky. As can be seen from the chart, Sirius B is unusually hot, and that means it is unusually young, probably only 250 million years or thereabouts. It is also unusually massive, being the remnant of a giant B-class star tha ...

The Life Cycle of the Stars
... Like all stars, our Sun was formed from a cloud of hydrogen gas and dust that almost certainly included the ashes from an earlier star gone supernova. In its death throes, it created elements heavier than iron that our solar system inherited. Gravity pulled the cloud together into a giant ball. When ...
