Week of Jan. 14th
Pictured above is a colorful canvas of hot, young stars only about 2,400 light-years away!  Part of what you are looking at is an area to the left where star-birth is taking place - what is this area called, and what process has to start happening for a star to be born?  Use the diagram below for help.

    It is losing its hydrogen, which is how a star dies.

    The star is beginning to die, so it does all it can to stay alive by fusing all of the elements in its core. As this occurs there is a large amount of energy released. Then it begins to explode.

    The star is dying because it's losing hydrogen.

    The star is forming a planetary nebula because there is not enough hydrogen to keep the nuclear fission proceeds goining, so it loses it gravitational pull, and results in the rest of the gasses forming a nebula.

    The star is slowing dying because of the lose of hydrogen and it starts to explode.
