- A very large, red star of high luminosity and low surface temperature that is in a late stage of evolution when it no longer has hydrogen in the core to fuel nuclear fusion.

- A phenomenon where the waves tend to become longer or shorter when the source of a wave is moving.
- The collapsed core of a massive supergiant star left behind after a supernova; it is extremely dense.
- Occurs when an object is moving towards the observer in space; the light waves bunch up, resulting in a shorter wavelength closer to the blue end of the visible light spectrum.
- Cooler areas on the surface of the photosphere that appear darker than the surrounding areas because they are areas of gas cooler than the gases around it.
- A powerful and luminous stellar explosion; this is the last stage of a massive star’s life when the core collapses and results in a giant explosion.
- Occurs when an object is moving away from the observer; the light waves stretch out, resulting in a longer wavelength closer to the red end of the visible light spectrum.
- A cloud of gas and dust in outer space, often visible in the night sky, that collapses to form a new star (a "Star Nursery").
