°Red Dwarf Stars are by far the most common stars in the galaxy.
°Red Dwarf Stars, according to some estimates, make up three-quarters of the stars in the Milky Way.
°Not one Red Dwarf Star is visible with the naked eye from earth.

Sirius the brightest star in the sky.
It is 8.611 light years from earth.
It is in the constellation Canis Major.

Nuclear fission is the process of splitting a large, heavy nucleus into two smaller nuclei, and fusion is the process of two nuclei coming together to release vast amounts of energy.

The difference between nuclear fission and fusion is that fission is splitting a heavy nucleus into 2 lighter nuclei. Fusion is 2 light nuclei combine together to release energy.

Is a massive star nearing the end of life, with 15 times the mass and 10,000 times the visible luminosity of our sun. 
It’s located 550 light-years from earth, in the constellation Scorpio. 
Antares is big enough to fill the solar system beyond the orbit of mars.

Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf, aboyt 4.2 light years away from the sun
It cannot be seen by the naked eye as it is too small and dim
Its mass is about 12% that of the sun
Its luminosity is 0.17% that of the sun
Nuclear fission is when the heavy nuclei of an atom splits into lighter nuclei and nuclear fusion is when two or more nuclei combine and form one or more different nuclei and subatomic particles
