Stars That Go Bang!
Supernovae are exploding stars which increase in brightness very suddenly and unexpectedly.
Stellar informant
Star clusters are large groups of stars. These clusters provide fantastic (in fact, out of this world(!)) laboratories for us to study populations of stars.
Pair the Stages of a Star
Though they shine for many thousands, and even millions of years, stars do not last for ever. They ignite, burn, and then run out of fuel and go out.
Can you match the images of each stage of a star's existence to the correct description?
Identify the Nebula
The word nebula is used to talk about any dusty, fuzzy objects in space but they can be very different things! Can you classify each image into its proper category?
Order the Stages of a Star
During their lives, stars undergo massive changes. What happens to them depends on how much mass they contain.
Can you put the stages that a low mass star and a high mass star will go through in the correct order on the diagram?
