Blogging with Rose Galaxy

  Starting off Did you know that before stars begin to form in a nebula, the clouds of gases and dust swirl around and around? They then form into clumps which grow larger and larger. Cloud collapse Eventually, something causes the clouds to collapse. Some astronomers think that this might happen when clouds pass through the arm of a spiral galaxy. (The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy too)While some  astronomers suggest that the shock wave from an exploding star (a supernova)might start the collapse. This is how a supernova explosion looks like. BOOM! A Shining Star  As the cloud collapses, the temperature rises inside. (It becomes  scorching hot) After tens of thousands of years of collapse, a hot core forms. The core gets hotter and hotter until nuclear reactions begin inside, making the clump of gases shine.The new star has been born. YAY!  Most new stars are hot and bright while some are cooler and dimmer. WOW! SHINING STARS........😮🤩 This image,taken by the  Hubble Space Telescope

Are Stars really little? All of us have heard about this nursery rhyme. It is none other than the famous "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". Because of this song, all of us think that stars are little. But now I am here to prove that you are wrong! Stars  make their own light, just like our sun (the sun is a star too, in fact, it is the closest star to Earth). But the stars  are extremely  far away from our solar system that is why  they seem  to be very small  to us, even though close up they are large. They reflect the light of the sun in the same way our moon reflects sunlight. Now you may be thinking... What is a Star? A star is a luminous ball of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium, held together by its own gravity. Nuclear fusion reactions in its core, support the star against gravity and produce photons and heat, as well as small amounts of heavier elements. Now we have learnt some basic information about stars. Don't hesitate! Let us dive in deeper!  A  `Birthplace'  D
