1
Red Dwarf Red dwarfs are the most common type of star in the universe,
2
making up roughly 75% of all stars.
3
They are small, cool, and dim,
4
with surface temperatures between 2,500 and 3,500 Kelvin.
5
Most red dwarfs are between 8% and 50% the mass of our Sun.
6
Because they burn through their hydrogen fuel so slowly,
7
red dwarfs have extraordinarily long lifespans,
8
potentially lasting over a trillion years.
9
For comparison, the universe itself is only about 13.8 billion years old,
10
meaning no red dwarf that has ever existed has had enough time to die yet.
11
Orange dwarf Orange dwarfs, also called K-type main-sequence stars,
12
sit between red dwarfs and stars like our Sun in terms of size, temperature, and brightness.
13
They range from about 3,500 to 5,000 Kelvin and are roughly 60% to 80% the mass of the Sun.
14
Orange dwarfs are considered strong candidates for hosting habitable planets because they are more stable than red dwarfs,
15
produce fewer dangerous flares, and live for 15 to 30 billion years,
16
giving life far more time to develop than a star like our Sun would allow.
17
Yellow dwarf.
18
Yellow dwarfs are G-type main-sequence stars,
19
and our Sun is one of them.
20
They range from about 5,000 to 6,000 Kelvin and are among the most well-studied stars in astrophysics.
21
Despite the name, yellow dwarfs actually appear white when viewed from space.
22
The yellow color we see from Earth is caused by the atmosphere scattering shorter wavelengths of light.
23
Yellow dwarfs live for roughly 10 billion years.
24
Our sun is currently about 4.6 billion years old,
25
placing it roughly at the halfway point of its life.
26
When a yellow dwarf runs out of hydrogen fuel,
27
it expands into a red giant before shedding its outer layers and collapsing into a white dwarf.
28
White dwarf White dwarfs are not actually living stars.
29
They are the leftover cores of stars that have exhausted their fuel and shed their outer layers.
30
A white dwarf is roughly the size of Earth,
31
but contains a mass comparable to our sun, making it extraordinarily dense.
32
A teaspoon of white dwarf material would weigh approximately 5.5 tons on Earth.
33
White dwarfs produce no new energy through fusion.
34
They simply radiate the remaining heat into space,
35
slowly cooling over billions of years.
36
Eventually, a white dwarf will cool down completely and become a black dwarf,
37
dwarf, though the universe is not yet old enough for any black dwarf to exist.
38
Blue Dwarf Blue dwarfs are a theoretical type of star that does not yet exist anywhere in the universe.
39
They are predicted to form when a red dwarf begins running out of hydrogen fuel.
40
Instead of expanding into a red giant like more massive stars,
41
a red dwarf would slowly increase in temperature and brightness,
42
shifting from red to blue over time.
43
Brown Dwarf Brown dwarfs are objects that formed like stars but never accumulated enough mass to sustain hydrogen fusion in their cores.
44
They sit between the heaviest gas giant planets and the lightest red dwarf stars,
45
typically ranging from 13 to 80 times the mass of Jupiter.
46
Brown dwarfs can fuse and sometimes lithium,
47
but not ordinary hydrogen, which means they gradually cool and dim over time.
48
Their surface temperatures range from about 300 to 2,500 Kelvin,
49
making some of them cooler than certain planets.
50
Brown dwarfs are extremely difficult to detect because they emit very little light,
51
but astronomers estimate they may be nearly as common as regular stars.
52
Sub-dwarf Sub-dwarfs are stars that are less luminous than main-sequence stars of the same spectral type.
53
They contain fewer heavy elements,
54
which means their outer layers are less opaque and they appear dimmer and bluer than expected.
55
Sub-dwarfs are typically old stars,
56
often found in the galactic halo,
57
and their low-metal content suggests they formed very early in the history of the universe when fewer heavy elements were available.
58
Blue Giant Blue giants are massive,
59
hot stars with surface temperatures exceeding 10,000 Kelvin.
60
They are extremely luminous, often tens of thousands of times brighter than our Sun.
61
The term blue giant is somewhat loose and covers a range of evolutionary stages,
62
from massive stars just leaving the main sequence to evolved stars in later phases of their lives.
63
Blue giants burn through their fuel rapidly,
64
meaning they have much shorter lifespans than smaller stars,
65
typically only a few million years.
66
Red Giant
67
Red giants are stars that have exhausted the hydrogen fuel in their cores
68
and have begun fusing hydrogen in a shell surrounding the core.
69
This process causes the outer layers of the star to expand dramatically,
70
increasing the star's radius by tens or even hundreds of times.
71
Despite their enormous size, red giants have relatively cool surface temperatures of around 3,500 to 5,000 Kelvin,
72
which gives them their characteristic red-orange color.
73
Our sun will become a red giant in approximately 5 billion years.
74
When it does, it will expand far enough to engulf the orbits of Mercury and Venus and possibly reach Earth.
75
Blue supergiants Blue supergiants are among the hottest and most luminous stars in the universe.
76
They can reach surface temperatures of 10,000 to 50,000 Kelvin and shine hundreds of thousands of times brighter than the sun.
77
They are massive, typically between 10 and 100 solar masses,
78
and they burn through their fuel at an extraordinary rate,
79
meaning they live for only a few million years.
80
While blue giants are simply large hot stars still burning hydrogen in their cores,
81
blue supergiants have evolved past that stage.
82
They are what happens when the most massive blue giants exhaust their core hydrogen and begin expanding,
83
and most will end their lives in violent supernova explosions.
84
Red supergiant Red supergiants are the largest stars by volume in the known universe.
85
They form when a massive star exhausts its core hydrogen and expands outward.
86
Some red supergiants have radii exceeding 1,000 times that of the Sun.
87
If Betelgeuse, one of the most well-known red supergiants,
88
were placed at the center of our solar system,
89
its surface would extend past the orbit of Mars and possibly reach Jupiter.
90
Red supergiants are relatively cool at around 3,000 to 4,000 Kelvin,
91
but their sheer size makes them extremely luminous.
92
They are unstable and approaching the end of their lives and most will eventually collapse and explode as supernovae.
93
Hypergiant Hypergiants are the most luminous and most massive stars known.
94
They emit millions of times more light than the Sun and can have masses exceeding 100 solar masses.
95
Hypergiants are extremely rare and highly unstable,
96
losing mass at enormous rates through powerful stellar winds.
97
They come in several varieties,
98
including blue hypergiants, yellow hypergiants, and red hypergiants.
99
One of the largest known stars,
100
UY Scuti, is a red hypergiant with a radius approximately 1,700 times that of the Sun.
101
Hypergiants live for only a few million years and almost always end their lives in catastrophic supernova explosions.
102
Wolf Riot Wolf Riot stars are extremely hot,
103
massive stars that have lost their outer hydrogen layers, exposing their helium-burning cores.
104
Surface temperatures can exceed 30,000 Kelvin and in some cases reach over 200,000 Kelvin,
105
making them among the hottest stars known.
106
They produce intense stellar winds that eject material at speeds of up to 2,000 kilometers per second,
107
creating visible nebulae around them.
108
Wolf-Rayet stars are believed to be a late evolutionary stage of very massive stars,
109
and most are expected to end their lives as supernovae or even hypernovae.
110
Neutron star Neutron stars are the collapsed cores of massive stars that have exploded as supernovae.
111
They are incredibly dense, packing roughly 1.4 to 2.1 solar masses into a sphere only about 20 kilometers in diameter.
112
A teaspoon of neutron star material would weigh approximately 6 billion tons.
113
Neutron stars are composed almost entirely of neutrons,
114
compressed so tightly that electrons and protons have merged together.
115
They can rotate at extraordinary speeds,
116
with some spinning hundreds of times per second.
117
The gravitational field on the surface of a neutron star is roughly 2 billion times stronger than gravity on Earth.
118
Pulsar Pulsars are a type of neutron star that emit beams of electromagnetic radiation from their magnetic poles.
119
As the star rotates, these beams sweep across space like a lighthouse.
120
If Earth happens to be in the path of the beam,
121
we detect regular pulses of radiation,
122
which is how pulsars got their name.
123
Some pulsars rotate so precisely that their pulses are more accurate than atomic clocks.
124
Pulsars were first discovered in 1967 by Jocelyn Bell Burnell,
125
and the signal was initially so regular that it was briefly nicknamed LGM-1,
126
standing for Little Green Men,
127
because the researchers considered the possibility that it was an artificial signal from an alien civilization.
128
Magnetar Magnetars are neutron stars with extraordinarily powerful magnetic fields,
129
roughly a thousand times stronger than those of a typical neutron star
130
and up to a quadrillion times stronger than Earth's magnetic field.
131
If a magnetar were located halfway between Earth and the Moon,
132
it would wipe every credit card on the planet.
133
In 2004, a magnetar called SGR 1806-20 released a flare that in one-tenth of a second
134
emitted more energy than our Sun produces in 100,000 years.
135
The burst was powerful enough to temporarily disturb Earth's ionosphere from 50,000 light years away.
136
Black hole Black holes are not technically stars,
137
but they are formed from the remnants of the most massive ones.
138
When a star with more than about 20 solar masses collapses at the end of its life,
139
the gravitational force becomes so strong that nothing,
140
not even light, can escape.
141
The boundary beyond which escape is impossible is called the event horizon.
142
Stellar black holes typically range from about 5 to several tens of solar masses.
143
Supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies can contain millions or even billions of solar masses.
144
The first image of a black hole was captured in 2019,
145
showing the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87.
146
Quark star Quark stars are hypothetical objects that may exist between neutron stars and black holes.
147
In theory, if the pressure inside a neutron star becomes extreme enough,
148
the neutrons themselves break apart into their component quarks,
149
forming a new state of matter called quark matter.
150
A quark star would be smaller and denser than a neutron star,
151
but would not collapse into a black hole.
152
In 2002, the Chandra X-ray Observatory identified two objects
153
that appeared too small to be neutron stars and too large to be black holes,
154
making them potential quark star candidates.
155
However, their existence has not been confirmed.
