High mass star (does this helium flash make my mass look big?)

    Interstellar nebula

    Interstellar nebula
    The nebula is a dust cloud made of hydrogen, helium, and other gasses.
    It serves as a nest for stars to form.

    Clumps begin to form (you might wanna get that checked out...)

    Clumps begin to form (you might wanna get that checked out...)
    Clumps form due to the cold temperature that moves the gases molecular structure and atoms begin to bond. (Make the bond jake sully)

    Collapse

    Collapse
    Under the growing weight they begin to collapse and fragments into clumps which become...
    Dun dun dun dunnnnn!!!! Prostars!!!

    Protostar (it's like a star. But it's proto.)

    Protostar (it's like a star. But it's proto.)
    Free clumps branch off by the clouds remains.
    As it now possesses its own gravity, gasses fall into its center, forming heat, and thus warming the stars core and building pressure.
    It becomes an IR source till the cloud becomes more dense.

    Stable protostar (now with good job and loving family)

    Stable protostar (now with good job and loving family)
    Escaping pressure eventually stops gasses from entering the core.
    It's now a stable protostar!!! ☆:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:

    Four million years later...

    Four million years later...
    Thermonuclear fusion occurs in th core. The stellar winds stop.
    And now you've got a fully functional all inclusive vangstar!!! Congratulations lucky observer!!!

    Main sequence stars (no soy lattes here ya hipsters)

    Main sequence stars (no soy lattes here ya hipsters)
    This stage is 10-20 millions years long.
    Energy comes from the core.
    The fusion of hydrogen into helium occurs and the helium builds up over time.

    red supergiant (it's just baby fat guys...ill grow out of it)

    red supergiant (it's just baby fat guys...ill grow out of it)
    helium begins to burn, thus creating a red giant.
    a helium flash occurs, causing a fusion of helium into carbon within the stars core.
    when the core collapses, the star begins make 7 shells.
    -silicone
    -oxygen
    -neon
    -carbon
    -helium
    -hydrogen
    the iron core cannot take in any material and collapses soon after.

    super nova (look! up on the screen! it's cosmos! it's through the wormhole! no it's....SUPER NOVA!! teaching american about space for 44 seasons)

    super nova (look! up on the screen! it's cosmos! it's through the wormhole! no it's....SUPER NOVA!! teaching american about space for 44 seasons)
    after the collapse of the core, a super nova is born.
    it will take a few million years for this to explode, and it will shine brighter than 10 million suns.

    neutron stars (gotta blast)

    neutron stars (gotta blast)
    after the core collapses and protons and electrons melt together to form neutrons, a neutron star is born.
    these stars are city sized. (are we talking like new York? Vatican?Tokyo? human cities don't come in a one size fits all.)
    A neutron Starz degeneracy is a limit to what state a neutron can be when collapsing.
    In 1934 Walter Baade and Fritz Zwicky proposed existence of neutron stars.
    In 1967 Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Anthony Hewish discovered the proof of neutron stars.

    Black Hole (like my soul)

    Black Hole (like my soul)
    They are called this due all light being absorbed into them unable to escape.
    A type 2 super nova will form after, a gravitational core collapse.
    Schwarzschold radius is the radius of a sphere if alol mass of an object were compressed. The escape velocity will be equal to the speed of light.
    The event horizon is a area where light cant escape.
    Black holes are not eternal, lasting 10^67 - 10^100 years
