The Stars
Stars
Stars are giant, luminous spheres of
plasma. There are billions of them
— including our own sun — in
the Milky Way Galaxy. And there
are billions of galaxies in the
universe.
• The brightness of a star depends on its surface
temperature and size.
• Luminosity is the power of a star.
• Naming of Stars – Alpha
Beta
Gamma
Introduction of Stars
• Humankind has always been fascinated with
the objects observed in the night sky ,
especially the stars.
• Stars are cosmic energy generators that
produce heat, light, and other forms of
radiation.
• Our early ancestors relied on them. On what
crops they will plant and also to predict their
future.
How star is born?
• Stars are formed from giant clouds of dust and
gas when a chemical reaction happened.
• A Stars dies when it expands in to red , and
super giant and finally run out of gas to burn.
Stellar Evolution
• Stars are very dynamics. They undergo
different stages of evolution from “birth” to
“death”. This sequence of events occur within
a time span encompassing billion of years.
• Stars are born in interstellar clouds that are
rich in gases and dusts. These thinly diffused
clouds are called nebulae. In our galaxy , these
clouds are mostly composed of 92% hydrogen
, 7 % helium , and about 1 % other gases.
• At some point in time , some of these nebulae
come closer to each other due of various
factors. Then , the clouds contract. The initial
potential energy is converted into kinetic
energy and thermal energy. This causes a
gradual increase in temperature and release
of radiation. Then a protostar is formed.
How Stars are classified?
There are 5 characteristics of star
that you should know.
1. Color & 2. Temperature
3. Size
4. Composition
5. Brightness
Distance from stars
Constellations
• When stars are grouped together we call them
constellations.
• A constellation is a specific area of the celestial
sphere as defined by the International
Astronomical Union (IAU). These areas mostly
had their origins in Western-
traditional asterisms from which the
constellations take their names. There are 88
officially recognized constellations, covering the
entire sky.
Ursa Major
Orion
Cassiopeia
Andromeda
Phoenix
Lynx
Orpeheus Lyre or well known as
Lyra
Fornax
Draco
Aquarius
Pisces
Aries
Taurus
Gemini
Cancer
Leo
Virgo
Libra
Scorpio
Sagittarius
Capricorn
Hertzsprung–Russell Diagram
• The Herzsprung-Russell Diagram gives us a
way to look at the star color, temperature and
brightness.
• The HR diagram is not a star chart and it
doesn’t give a map of a stars.
