Harry Kroto 2004

Low Mass Stars If a Star has a mass of less then 4 stellar masses, then the Star will become a Red Giant when it has used most of its Hydrogen in the process of nuclear fusion.

This Red Giant will lose its mass by gently ejecting its outer layers to form a Planetary Nebula. There are between 20,000 and 50,000 Planetary Nebulae in our Galaxy alone. At the centre of a Planetary Nebula is a White Dwarf Star. A White Dwarf is about the same size as the Earth, but a mass up to 1.4 stellar masses (this is called the Chandrasekhar limit) if the mass is above this the star will have a high enough energy to restart nuclear fusion.

Birth of the Sun yrs ago Harry Kroto 2004

Now here after yrs Harry Kroto 2004

One day the world will blow up into a Red Giant Harry Kroto 2004

In yrs! Harry Kroto 2004

In and then collapse and slowly die away as a white dwarf Harry Kroto 2004
