Kitrinos is a Yellow Dwarf that I discovered, meaning "yellow" in Greek. It is made up of 6 layers: The core, radiation zone, convection zone, photosphere, chromosphere, and corona. The core is the central region where energy is produced through nuclear fusion. The radiation zone is the densely packed layer where energy is transferred mainly as electromagnetic radiation. In the convection zone, hot gases rise and cool down, forming loops of gas that progresses towards the outside. Photo means "light" in Greek, so the photosphere is the only region that gives off visible light. Chroma means "color" in Greek, so the chromosphere gives off a reddish glow during a total solar eclipse. Finally, the corona means "crown" in Latin, and it is visible as a white halo during a total solar eclipse.]]> 2019-01-10 01:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/449985/dsi55zkpixl0/wish/319065614 449985 https://padlet.com/449985/dsi55zkpixl0/wish/319447748      A nebula is a giant cloud of colorful dust and gases in outer space composed primarily of hydrogen and helium.

First, the baby is like the nebula, where the process of learning, but the star has not quite developed entirely The protostar state is alike the kid, when the star is still at one of its earliest stages. The Yellow Dwarf is similar to when the person has reached the age of a teenager and is in the prime time of their life, or the main sequence. When the star is a Red Giant, it is like it is an adult, probably in their 30s. At the stage of a planetary nebula, the human is seemingly middle-aged, around the age of 50. In the "grandparent" stage, which is when the person is about 80 years old, the star is likely a White Dwarf, nearing the end of its life. Finally, a Black Dwarf marks the end of its life, when the individual has passed away.]]> 2019-01-13 22:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/449985/dsi55zkpixl0/wish/320109087 449985 https://padlet.com/449985/dsi55zkpixl0/wish/320109164 2019-01-13 22:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/449985/dsi55zkpixl0/wish/320109164
