The larger a star the shorter its life, but all the more fascinating its death. As it collapses within it’s body, the infalling material can be no longer be compressed; the star is blown to pieces; its shattered mass realeases out ward at the speed of light.

About This Quote

The larger a star the shorter its life, but all the more fascinating its death. As it collapses within it’s body, the infalling material can be no longer be compressed; the star is blown to pieces; its shattered mass realeases out ward at the speed of light. The Hubble telescope has been able to show us what happens when a star collapses and blows up. When a star dies, it does so by releasing it’s own material outward at the speed of light.

This intense burst of energy sends out new stars and planets, but also can cause some problems. When a star explodes, it sends out a stream of high-energy particles that can strike planets or even strike us here on Earth.
