Summary:
A star goes through a long lifecycle as it lives its life a fiery ball in the night sky. A star is first formed when gravity compresses space dust to a single point. From there it stays in space for a long time in a stable phase. The mass of the star determines how long this stable phase is. From there it can become a red giant or a red supergiant if it was a massive or average star and it goes on separate paths from there.

SP2: Developing and using models
This week I used several online websites to see the life of stars. This included an educational website and a video. This is SP2: Developing and using models because I used a video and websites to help build the picture of a stars life cycle to learn more about them.
