Star Life Cycle
Across
- 1. A large cloud of dust and gas spread out in an immense volume
- 5. Most stars are in this stage of the star life cycle
- 6. Property that determines how tightly packed matter is in an object
- 7. An explosion created when a high mass star (a supergiant) runs out of fuel
- 8. Heaviest element that can be formed in the cores of stars
- 10. Stars that form from massive main sequence stars
- 12. Lightest element formed in the cores of all stars
- 13. A rapidly spinning neutron star that gives off regular pulses of radio waves
- 14. Process in which atoms combine to form heavier atoms
Down
- 2. An object with gravity so strong that nothing can escape it – even light
- 3. The remains of high mass stars that have exploded – smaller and denser than a white dwarf
- 4. Color of the coolest temperature stars
- 9. The blue-white core of a low to medium mass star that has run out of fuel
- 11. Type of star our Sun will become when it runs out of hydrogen
- 13. A contracting cloud of dust and gas with enough mass to form a star
