The core of a star after an explosion.  The core is so dense that a sugar cube (1 cm3) sized piece would have a mass as much as Mount Everest.

Gases (mostly hydrogen) and dust begin spinning around together forming a ball.

Hydrogen gases are almost all used and the star begins forming other elements including carbon.  The star expands outward while the carbon core is squeezed by gravity.  The outside is cool but the inside hot.

A place in space where gravity is so large, even light cannot escape.  It happens because the core of the star is squeezed into a tiny place.

The core of the star is pressurized carbon; possibly a giant diamond.  The star is the size of Earth.

the iron core of the star is so heavy that the gravitational force causes the core to collapse and the star to explode.  The heaviest elements are made by the fusion that occurs during the explosion and these elements are spread through the universe.

Helium gases are almost all used and the star begins forming iron at the core.  The star’s core is extremely hot and the star is expanding outward.

Hydrogen fuses and becomes helium.  This happens for millions of years, sending light and heat out of the star.

Hydrogen fuses and becomes helium.  This happens for billions of years, sending light and heat out of the star.

Gravity puts huge pressure on the ball of gas as it spins.  This causes the temperature to increase and gases to start shooting out.

The outer shell of the Red Giant ejects (shoots out) gases as the star is in the last part of its Red Giant stage
