Stage 1 (Nebula) • A nebula is a cloud of dust and gas, composed primarily of ____________ • Birthplace of stars Cone Nebula Ring Nebula Rosetta Nebula Ant Nebula Eagle Nebula How did our sun and solar system form? A C B D Stage 2 (_______________Stage) • ____________ stage of stars life (90%) • Nuclear __________ is occurring ______________ (H) is being converted into ______________ (He) • Stage our sun is in! HR Diagram (Hertzsprung-Russell diagram) • Show relationship between __________________ (brightness) and _____________________. 90% of stars are Main Sequence Our Sun Stage 3 (_______ Giant) Massive & Super massive = Super red giant • Star runs out of ____________ and uses ____________ as it fuel source. • Helium changes into __________. • Grows very large / gets cooler on the surface. Our sun Stage 4 Massive & super massive = Supernova • __________ stars will Supernova • Brilliant explosion • Core produces heavier and heavier element until it creates __________(Fe). • Results in a pulsar or black hole depending on mass of star. Crab Nebula – went supernova in 1054 End Stage of a massive star (Neutron Star/Pulsar) • A star at least 2X more massive than our sun collapsed into a space the size of a small city. • So dense a teaspoon of a neutron star would weight more than a cruise ship full of people. http://library.thinkquest.org/25763/lsupernova.htm X-ray Crab Nebula containing a Neutron Star Went Supernova in 1054 End Stage Super Massive Star (Black Hole) • Only occurs with very massive stars (3+ times the mass of our sun) Our Sun’s fate • After _______________, stages _________!!!!! • Our sun is not massive enough to become a black hole or a neutron star. After it becomes a red giant it will Nova and form a… Planetary Nebula White Dwarf White Dwarf White Dwarf • The White Dwarf will burn very hot (Up to 20,000 degrees Kelvin). • Eventually it will burn out and become a Black Dwarf. HR - Diagram Our Galaxy (The Milky Way) • Spiral Galaxy Our sun • Our Sun is located in the galactic arm of Sagittarius.
