The life cycle of stars was discovered through advances in astrophysics and observational astronomy. Scientists like Hermann von Helmholtz and later Edwin Hubble contributed to understanding stellar evolution by examining stellar spectra and luminosity. Observations of different star types, such as red giants and supernovae, combined with theoretical models, revealed stages like nebula, main sequence, red giant, and supernova. The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram also played a crucial role in illustrating these stages and the relationship between a star's temperature, luminosity, and size.
