The Lives and Deaths of Stars A presentation of the Universe in the Parks program The University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Astronomy

SUN

M31: The Andromeda Galaxy

The Rosett e Nebula

M16: The Eagle Nebula

RCW 49 Star formation revealed in the infrared

Evolution of the Sun

Helix Nebula

Cat’s Eye Nebula

Relative Sizes of the Earth, a White Dwarf, and a Neutron Star  Stars like the Sun end their lives as white dwarfs.  Stars with more than roughly 8 times the mass of the Sun end up as neutron stars or black holes. A neutron star is about the same size as New York City!

Evolution of a Massive Star

A Recent Supernova in the Large Magellanic Cloud

An Historical Supernova in a.d Recorded by:  Chinese and Japanese Astronomers  Anastzi Indians in Chaco Canyon, present-day New Mexico (photo)

Crab Nebula

Crab Pulsar

X-ray (Chandra)Visible light (Hubble) Crab Pulsar

Veil nebula: Remains of an ancient supernova
