Stars And The Universe (continued 1)
Resumen
The Sun is just one ordinary star among hundreds of billions in our galaxy, the Milky Way, and the Milky Way is just one galaxy among billions in the Universe. Across these vast distances, measured in light-years, stars are born, shine for ages, and die in spectacular ways.
In this lesson you will learn how galaxies, stars and the Milky Way fit together, what a light-year is and its value in metres, and the full life cycle of a star from a cloud of gas to a white dwarf, neutron star or black hole. You will see how the death of one star seeds the birth of the next.
Objetivos
- State that: (a) galaxies are each made up of many billions of stars (b) the Sun is a star in the galaxy known as the Milky Way (c) other stars that make up the Milky Way are much further away from the Earth than the Sun is from the Earth (d) astronomical distances can be measured in light-years, where one light-year is the distance travelled in (the vacuum of) space by light in one year
- [Supplement] Know that one light-year is equal to 9.5 × 1015 m
- [Supplement] Describe the life cycle of a star: (a) a star is formed from interstellar clouds of gas and dust that contain hydrogen (b) a protostar is an interstellar cloud collapsing and increasing in temperature as a result of its internal gravitational attraction (c) a protostar becomes a stable star when the inward force of gravitational attraction is balanced by an outward force due to the high temperature in the centre of the star (d) all stars eventually run out of hydrogen as fuel for the nuclear reaction (e) most stars expand to form red giants and more massive stars expand to form red supergiants when most of the hydrogen in the centre of the star has been converted to helium (f) a red giant from a less massive star forms a planetary nebula with a white dwarf star at its centre (g) a red supergiant explodes as a supernova, forming a nebula containing hydrogen and new heavier elements, leaving behind a neutron star or a black hole at its centre (h) the nebula from a supernova may form new stars with orbiting planets

Cosmology and Particle Physics
Look at the sky on some clear night when you are away from city lights. There you will see thousands of individual stars and a faint glowing background of millions more. The Milky Way, as it has been called since ancient times, is an arm of our galaxy of stars—the word galaxy coming from the Greek w
