What forms at the end of a star’s life?

That depends on the mass of the star:

· Low to Medium Mass Stars (like our Sun):

Become white dwarfs — Earth-sized, dense cores that slowly cool over billions of years. They’re often surrounded by a beautiful planetary nebula.

· High Mass Stars:

Go out with a bang — a supernova explosion. What’s left behind depends on mass:

· Neutron star: An incredibly dense ball of neutrons.

· Black hole: If the core is massive enough, gravity collapses it into a black hole.

So, stars may “die,” but their endings create some of the most fascinating objects in the universe and spread elements essential for life (like carbon and iron) across space. ✨🌌
