Stars are some of the most imteresting phenomenon in our universe.
They are created from the huge volumes of gas that exist in space. One theory is that the shock waves of other exploding stars cause regions of instability so the volumes of gas separate and begin to contract due to the force of gravity. As the birth cloud shrinks, the gas molecules move faster and the temperature of the cloud rises, thus forming a star. In the following links we will explore the various life cycles of stars, and attempt to better understand these wondrous celestial bodies.
