Is it true stars are continually forming in the halo of your galaxy today?

Answer 1

Yes, mostly. When a star reaches the end of its "Main Sequence" and runs out of the main fuel hydrogen, it starts to burn Helium, and swell up to a Red Giant, or a Super Red Giant in some cases. When it runs out of Helium and Hydrogen, it collapses itself under its own force of gravity with no gas pressure to defend against its collapse. As it collapses...

Large stars create Supernova explosions or sometime Black Holes

Medium sized and small stars throw off their outer layers and the core cools to become a white dwarf.

Anyways, the way stars form is from nebula gathering under a force of gravity so essentially new stars form from the nebula that older stars shed off in their death.

Answer 2

definately, as the universe expands new planets, galaxys and starts among other things are constantly being created.

Answer 3

New stars are generally formed in the spiral arms.

The halo contains mainly old stars and little if any star formation occurs within the halo.

Answer 4

yes
