 About Stars

A star is type of astronomical object consisting of a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by its own gravity.

The nearest star to Earth is the Sun. Many other stars are visible to the naked eye from Earth during the night,
appearing as a multitude of fixed luminous points in the sky due to their immense distance from Earth.
Historically, the most prominent stars were grouped into constellations and asterisms, the brightest of which
gained proper names. Astronomers have assembled star catalogues that identify the known stars and provide
standardized stellar designations. However, most of the stars in the Universe, including all stars outside our 
galaxy, the Milky Way, are invisible to the naked eye from Earth. Indeed, most are invisible from Earth even
through the most powerful telescopes.

 Protostar

A protostar is a very young star that is still gathering

mass from its parent molecular cloud. The protostellar
phase is the earliest one in the process of stellar evolution
.[1] For a one solar-mass star it lasts about 1,000,000
years. The phase begins when a molecular cloud first
collapses under the force of self-gravity. It ends when the
protostar blows back the infalling gas and is revealed as
an optically visible pre-main-sequence star, which later
contracts to become a main sequence star.
 Tauri Star

Tauri Star is a variable star in the constellation Taurus, the

Prototype Tauri Stars. It was discovered in October 1852
By John Russel.

Surface temperature: 4,646 k

Distance Of Earth: 460 light years
Magnitude: 10.27

 White Dwarf Star
A white dwarf, also called a degenerate dwarf, is a 
stellar core remnant composed mostly of 
electron-degenerate matter. A white dwarf is very dense:
its mass is comparable to that of the Sun, while its volume
is comparable to that of Earth. A white dwarf's faint 
luminosity comes from the emission of stored 
thermal energy; no fusion takes place in a white dwarf
wherein mass is converted to energy.[1] The nearest known
white dwarf is Sirius B, at 8.6 light years, the smaller
component of the Sirius binary star. There are currently
thought to be eight white dwarfs among the hundred star
systems nearest the Sun.[2]The unusual faintness of white
dwarfs was first recognized in 1910.[3] The name white
dwarf was coined by Willem Luyten in 1922.
 Super Giant Star
Supergiants are among the most massive and most luminous stars
. Supergiant stars occupy the top region of the 
Hertzsprung–Russell diagram with absolute visual magnitudes
 between about −3 and −8 with temperatures spanning from about
3,500 K to over 20,000 K.

The term supergiant, as applied to a star, does not have a single

concrete definition. The term giant star was first coined by 
Hertzsprung when it became apparent that the majority of stars fell
into two distinct regions of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram. One
region contained larger and more luminous stars of spectral types A
to M and received the name giant.[1] Subsequently, as they lacked
any measurable parallax, it became apparent that some of these
stars were significantly larger and more luminous than the bulk,
and the term super-giant arose, quickly adopted as supergiant.
 Milky Way
The Milk y Way is a barred spiral galax y,
about 100,000 light-years across. If you could
look down on it from the top, you would see a
central bulge surrounded by four large spiral
arms that wrap around. it. Spiral galaxies

constantly rotating. As such, the arms are
moving through space. The sun and the solar
system travel with them. The solar system
travels at an average speed of 515,000 mph
(828,000 km/h). Even at this rapid speed, the
solar system would take about 230 million
years to travel all the way around the Milk y
Way.
