As a star dies, its luminosity fades. It is in a sense the radiation that keeps it from collapsing. When the radiation fades beyond a certain point, the star collapses. The collapse releases a huge burst of energy and light and the star turns into a nova or supernova. At this point several things can happen. The star can turn into a black hole but other things can happen as well.

What happens when your transmission starts smoking?

What happens after a transmission starts smoking, depends on what causes it to smoke. It could run for awhile, and just need new seals, or it could seize up and die.


What happens as stars die?

Exactly what happens depends on the mass of the star. Low mass stars first expand into giants, then shrink to white dwarfs. Stars with a little more mass than the Sun end up as neutron stars; stars with considerably more mass with the sun end up as black holes.


What are the categories of stars shown on the HR diagram?

The Hertzsprung -Russell (H-R) Diagram is a graph that plots stars color (spectral type or surface temperature) vs. its luminosity (intrinsic brightness or absolute magnitude). On it, astronomers plot stars' color, temperature, luminosity, spectral type, and evolutionary stage. This diagram shows that there are 3 very different types of stars:Most stars, including the sun, are "main sequence stars," fueled by nuclear fusion converting hydrogen into helium. For these stars, the hotter they are, the brighter. These stars are in the most stable part of their existence; this stage generally lasts for about 5 billion years.As stars begin to die, they become giants and supergiants (above the main sequence). These stars have depleted their hydrogen supply and are very old. The core contracts as the outer layers expand. These stars will eventually explode (becoming a planetary nebula or supernova, depending on their mass) and then become white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes (again depending on their mass).Smaller stars (like our Sun) eventually become faint white dwarfs (hot, white, dim stars) that are below the main sequence. These hot, shrinking stars have depleted their nuclear fuels and will eventually become cold, dark, black dwarfs.

Which stars are most common in the Milky Way Galaxy Why don't you see many of them in H-R diagrams?

The most common stars are Red Dwarfs. It is probable that up to 80% of all stars in the universe are red dwarfs. They are not visible on the on the H-R Diagram because they are hard to observe from Earth due to their low-luminosity. In contrast O-type and B-type supergiants are extremely rare. The reason for this is because they evolve and die quickly.
