Life Cycle of Star

Journey through the universe and witness the awe-inspiring stages of a star\\\’s life with our interactive pegboard. This tactile learning tool is designed to engage offering a hands-on experience of the stellar evolution.

1. Nebula: A vast cloud of gas and dust where stars are born.
2. Protostar: An early stage of a star where materials start to come together and heat up.
3. T-Tauri Phase: A turbulent phase of a young star, often considered its \\\”teenage\\\” years.
4. Low & Medium Mass Stars (e.g., Sun): Stars like our Sun that burn steadily and have a relatively calm life.
5. Red Giant: An aging star that has expanded and become reddish in color due to decreasing temperatures on its surface.
6. Planetary Nebula: An outer layer shed by a medium-sized star in its late life.
7. White Dwarf: A fading star, what\\\’s left after a star has shed its outer layers.
8. High Mass/Massive Stars (e.g., Sirius): Large stars that burn brighter and are often much more massive than our Sun.
9. Red Supergiant: An incredibly large star, reddish in color, and nearing the end of its life.
10. Supernova: A stellar explosion that results when certain stars end their life.
11. Neutron Star: A dense core left behind after a supernova.
12. Black Hole: A region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. Understand how stars, like our Sun, transform from mere nebulae to majestic black holes.
