Across
- 2. This limit is 1.44 solar masses, the maximum stable mass of a white dwarf before further collapse
- 4. The core of a red supergiant is made of this
- 5. After a supernova for core masses greater than 3 solar masses
- 8. The theoretical final stage after a white dwarf
- 9. The next stage of our sun's life
- 11. Where the highest naturally made elements on the periodic table originate from
- 13. The birthplace of a star, a cloud of dust and gas
- 14. This means no fusion
Down
- 1. The most stable part of a star's life cycle
- 3. In the main sequence stage, when the inward gravitational attraction is equal to the outward force from radiation pressure from fusion, the star is in _________________
- 6. This pressure prevents further collapse of a neutron star, unless above 1.44 solar masses
- 7. In this early stage of a star's life, there is no fusion
- 10. This radiation is being emitted from a white dwarf
- 12. The process by which hydrogen combined to make helium
