N wat does dat teaches us ?

Deuteronomy 4:19 KJVS
And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

I was expecting to see Star Boy in d list.....abi wizkid no dey exist

What of solid star

black dwarf
blue star
neutron star

Nice thread.........';;;;;;;;;;;;
I dey follow up

This List Is Incomplete Without "Owambẹ Dwarf"
O.p Please Modify!

It's actually scarier than he said.

If such star were to be near our earth, there would be no water any place on earth, no humans, no plant, no life. Absolutely nothing!. It would've just been a desolate burning earth like a volcano.

Indeed, there're places like that in the universe that happen to be unlucky to be near such stars.

For me,I know star 1.Triple x 2.Lite 3.Raddler 4.Cold filter. LTC= last to comment. Dedicated to those who fast just to make FTC. Lalasticala take note

[jmote author=ValentineMary post=43992917][i] There are several different main types of stars ,
depending on their size, luminosity and lifespan:


brown dwarfs - "failed stars ", which form from
clouds of interstellar gas , as other stars do, but
never reach sufficient mass , density and internal
heat to start the nuclear fusion process (i.e. less
than 8% of the mass of our Sun). Although they
may glow dimly when newly formed (and are
therefore in fact red not brown), they start to
cool soon after and so are very difficult to spot.
They may actually be among the most common
type of stars.


red dwarfs - small and relatively cool stars ,
bigger than brown dwarfs, but less than 40 -
50% of the mass of our Sun. Most of the stars in
our galaxy (excluding possible unseen brown
dwarfs) are red dwarfs. They are much dimmer
than our Sun (even the largest red dwarf has
only about 10% of the Sun's luminosity), burn
much more slowly, and typically live much
longer.


yellow dwarfs - main-sequence stars like our
own Sun, Alpha Centauri A, Tau Ceti, etc,
typically about 80 - 100% of the size of the Sun,
and actually more white than yellow. They are
also known as G V stars for their spectral type G
and luminosity class V.


white stars - bright, main-sequence stars with
masses from 1.4 to 2.1 times the mass of the
Sun and surface temperatures between 7,600°C
and 10,000°C, such as Sirius A and Vega.
red giants - luminous giant stars of low or
intermediate mass (usually between 0.5 and 10
solar masses) in a late phase of stellar evolution,
such as Aldeberan and Arcturus. When a main-
sequence star has fused all its hydrogen into
helium, it then starts to burn its helium to
produce carbon and oxygen, and expands to
many times its previous volume to become a red
giant. After a relatively short time (in the region
of two hundred million years), the red giant
puffs out its outer layers in a gas cloud called a
nebula and collapses in on itself to form a white
dwarf. The largest red giants are known as red
supergiants, and are the largest stars in the
universe in terms of volume (well-known
examples are Antares and Betelgeuse).


white dwarfs - small, dense, burnt-out husks of
stars, no longer undergoing fusion reactions, and
representing the final evolutionary state of most
of the stars in our galaxy. When a red giant has
used up its helium to produce carbon and
oxygen, and has insufficient mass to generate
the core temperatures required to fuse carbon,
it sheds its outer layers to form a planetary
nebula, and leaves behind an inert mass of
carbon and oxygen. A white dwarf is typically
only the size of the Earth, but 200,000 times
more dense.


black dwarfs - hypothetical stellar remnants
created when a white dwarf becomes cool and
dark after about ten billion years of life. Black
dwarfs are very hard to detect, and very few
would exist yet anyway in a universe only 13.7
billion years old.


blue giants - bright, giant stars , between 10 and
100 times the size of the Sun, and between 10
and 1,000 times its luminosity. Because of their
mass and hotness, they are relatively short-lived
and quickly exhaust their hydrogen fuel, ending
as red supergiants or neutron stars . The biggest
and most luminous stars are referred to as blue
supergiants and hypergiants. The best known
blue supergiant is Rigel, the brightest star in the
constellation of Orion, which has a mass about
20 times that of the Sun and a luminosity more
than 60,000 times greater. The biggest and
brightest ever found is 10 million times as bright
as the Sun.


neutron stars - stellar remnants that can result
from the gravitational collapse of massive stars
during a supernova event. They are composed
almost entirely of crushed neutrons , and are
very hot and very dense. Although a typical
neutron star has a mass of only between 1.35
and about 2.1 times that of our Sun, it is 60,000
times smaller than the Sun (usually in the region
of just 20 - 30 kilometres across) and, because
of this huge density , has a gravity of over 200
billion times that we experience on Earth. They
rotate very fast (especially soon after the
supernova explosion) and some emit regular
pulses of radiation and are known as pulsars .
Smaller collapsed stars will usually become white
dwarfs, and larger ones (over about 5 solar
masses) will collapse completely into a black hole
singularity.


variable stars - stars that grow and shrink in size
periodically and appear to pulsate. The changes
in apparent brightness may be due to variations
in the star 's actual luminosity, or to variations in
the amount of the star's light that is blocked
from reaching Earth.


binary stars - two stars in close

;Dlilac dwarf, peper red dwarf, blue black dwarf..just joking
remind me of scalar observation, we use the look find star in d night using theodolite like pesin we d look for office pin for maize seed for inside river

You forgot star lite. Lol

I get rather passionate sometimes.

Who gave diz material? Astronomy 414

The universe is a mystery.

was just wondering ? all these dwalfs stars.
where are the ones I studied during astronomy


your source will exonerate you. biko
