Trip to Space
Average and Massive Main Sequence Stars
Come visit our sun! It lives in the main-sequence stage in its life. Scientists expect that it will live for 5 billion more years until it will turn into a red giant. The sun is only an average main-sequence star, meaning it is smaller than a massive main-sequence star.
Red Giants and Supergiants
White Dwafs
Globular and Open Clusters

A stellar nebula is a stellar nursery where stars are born. They are born from clumps of dust and gas being pressed together.
Planetary Nebula
Black Hole
Supernovas and Neutron Stars
Neutron Stars are stars that have collapsed under gravity to the point where electrons and protons have smashed together to form neutrons.
Spiral Galaxy
Elliptical Galaxy
Quasar
Quasars are not exactly stars, but it has many star-like qualities and from our telescope, it will look like a star. A quasar emits very large amounts of energy and it is thought to contain a black hole on its other side.
