Star, any massive self-luminous celestial body of gas that shines by radiation derived from its internal energy sources. This article describes the properties and evolution of individual stars. Included in the discussion are the sizes, energetics, temperatures, masses, and chemical compositions of stars.

Star - Formation, Evolution, Lifecycle: Throughout the Milky Way Galaxy (and even near the Sun itself), astronomers have discovered stars that are well evolved or even approaching extinction, or both, as well as occasional stars that must be very young or still in the process of formation. Evolutionary effects on these stars are not negligible, even for a middle-aged star such as the Sun. More massive stars must display more spectacular effects because the rate of conversion of mass into…

Some 60 million light-years away in the southerlyconstellation Corvus, two large galaxies are colliding. Stars in the two galaxies, cataloged as NGC 4038 and NGC 4039, very rarely collide in the course of the ponderous cataclysm that lasts for hundreds of millions of years. But the galaxies' large clouds of molecular gas and dust often do, triggering furious episodesof star formation near the center of the cosmic wreckage Orion Nebula, Hubble Images, Hubble Pictures, Helix Nebula, Carina Nebula, Whirlpool Galaxy, Star Formation, Andromeda Galaxy, Hubble Space

Learn how stars are born from clouds of dust and gas, how they release energy by nuclear fusion, and how they change and die depending on their mass. Discover the different stages of the life cycle of a star with this KS3 science physics webpage on the topic of the life cycle of a star.

WASTED on Instagram: "The Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038 and NGC 4039) collided gravitationally, forming a vast heart-like shape visible in space.   Located 60 million light years away, they have been merging for a billion years, triggering star formation through colliding interstellar gases.   Their iconic antennae structures and cosmic dance are expected to continue for another billion years."
