The evolution of stars shapes the galaxy from "summary" of The Science of Interstellar by Kip Thorne
The birth, life, and death of stars play a crucial role in shaping the galaxy that we observe today. Stars are not static entities; they undergo a series of transformations over their lifetime that have far-reaching effects on the surrounding space. When a star is born from a cloud of gas and dust, it begins to shine brightly due to the nuclear fusion reactions happening at its core. These reactions release energy in the form of light and heat, which radiate out into space, influencing the environment around the star. As a star ages, it undergoes changes that impact its size, temperature, and luminosity. Eventually, the star will exhaust its nuclear fuel and reach the end of its life. Depending on its mass, a star may end its life in a ...
