Nebulae

A cloud of gas and dust in outer space visible in the night sky as a bright spot or a dark silhouette against other luminous matter.

They are always in motion.

Glowing, expanding shells of gas and dust that form around dying stars. They are created when a star runs out of fuel and sheds its outer layers.

It is made up of a carbon core and surrounded by hot gas.

The resulting gas and dust particles after a supernova collapse. The particles bounce off the resulting shockwave.

These remnants is what's known as the Pillars of Creation.

diffuse nebulas are clusters if gas in space and lead to the formations of stars in space.

these nebulas can be distributed by shockwaves in space.

The HR diagram is a graph used to determine the temperature and apparent brightness.

The diagram is called the Hertzsprung-Rusell, which is named after the creators of the diagram.

Stars that are in the main sequence portion of the HR diagram.

These stars are usually arranged in a diagonal shape in the HR diagram.

The resulting stars after giant stars collapse after running out of fuel.

White dwarfs can be extremely hot while also being extremely dim.

Supergiant stars are even bigger stars that has more mass and are even brighter.

These stars can lead to the creation of black holes.

mnunez04 — 2024-09-17 20:33:46 UTC

Stars that are larger in mass than your typical star.

These stars can be extremely bright while not being very hot due to its size.

A nova is any class of exploding stars which luminosity increases up to 1000 times its level.

Novas will reach their max luminosity mere hours after an explosion.

mnunez04 — 2024-09-17 20:33:50 UTC

The resulting explosion after red giants collapse once running out of fuel, which then lead to white dwarfs.

They are the largest explosions in space.

These are implosions following the collapse of super giant stars in which these are so huge not even light can escape from.

Interstellar has the most accurate depiction of a black hole.
