The Creation of Stars

As we look up in the night sky we see close to 3000 different stars. They seem small but that is because of the distance, in reality they are as big as our Sun, some even bigger. Stars are generally born in clusters and are formed from thin clouds of hydrogen gas. As these clouds shrink, the hydrogen they contain gets compressed which increases the temperature and soon the gas becomes so hot that it begins to glow, thus a star is born and it begins to emit light. As the star glows the hydrogen gets converted to helium this allows the star to give out heat. At the end of their life when their hydrogen is exhausted the stars explode forming what is called a ‘Supernova’. Supernovas are nothing but the wreckage of stars which continue to glow for some more time. The Crab Nebula is the supernova of a star which exploded and died way back in time. Star formation and destruction is a constantly ongoing process.
