Answer 2

One example of a dead star is a white dwarf, which is the remnant core of a sun-like star that has exhausted its nuclear fuel and collapsed. Another example is a neutron star, which is the extremely dense core left behind after a massive star explodes in a supernova.

Answer 3

There are approximately 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in the visible Universe, some have just died, some have just been created.

To name them all, at one a second would take over 316,887,646,000,000 years

So I won't bother.

See related question for some of them.

Answer 5

Sure. Will anyone else anywhere ever use your name for it? Probably not. Those "star registry" companies are, basically, scams. They "name" a star whatever you want, publish that name in a book along with the "names" that other suckers have purchased (which they'll likely try to sell to you at some outrageous price), and then ... well, then, the world goes on exactly as it was before. Astronomers don't suddenly start talking about the new planet they've discovered orbiting MyPetCatSmudgie or interesting developments in the nebula near Mermaidania. There's nothing to stop some other "star registry" company from "selling" the exact same star to someone else. For that matter, there's really very little to stop the same company from selling the exact same star to someone else, though there are hundreds of thousands of cataloged stars, so unless they get exceptionally lazy there's no real need for them to do that.

Answer 6

= Other names of stars: =

The star named Rigel marks the left foot of Orion the Hunter. Deneb (Arabic for "tail") marks the tail of Cygnus the Swan. The star scientifically called Gamma Gruis is named Ras Alkurki (Arabic for "Head of the Crane") because it marks the head of Grus theCrane. Ras is Arabic for "head", andAlkurkiis Arabic for "the crane" .Some stars were given names with meanings having nothing to do with their parent constellation. For example, there is a star in Lepus the Hare named Nihal, meaning "The Camels Quenching Their Thirst" in Arabic, because ancient Arabians saw the constellation Lepus as a caravan of camels instead of ahare.

Answer 7

It depends how the star dies. If it is bout the size of the sun, it'll swell up and then start to shrink, puffing out gas(Which surrounds it in a nebula). All that would be left is it's core, which is a white dwarf. If it's a star bigger than our sun, it goes out with a bang, exploding. All is left is a supernova, and a black hole or a neutron star

Answer 8

There are approximately 200 -> 400 billion stars in the Milky Way. See related for a list of some stars

Answer 9
