The life of a high mass star goes like this:

A nebula gets hot and nuclear fusion binds it into a high-mass protostar

the protostar ages into high-mass, very hot star

that hot star explodes into a supergiant, which proceeds to explode into a supernova

the supernova then shrinks into a neutron star or a black hole

the life of a low- or medium-mass star goes like this:

a nebula gets hot and nuclear fusion binds it into a low-mass protostar

the protostar ages into a low- or medium- mass,cool star

the star explodes into a red giant, the red giant explodes into a planetary nebula

the nebula shrinks into a white dwarf, which then dims into a black dwarf

i hope i was able to answer your question.

How is it that a star seldom finds another star near it?

A star seldom finds another star near it because of the pull of gravity. If two stars are too close to each other they will both explode because their pull of gravity is very strong. They will pull each other in and eventually, when they hit each other they will explode. For more information, visit alienearths.org. This website has a model of our solar system. You can click and drag planets and stars to wherever you want to in the solar system. It will show you some basic information about the orbits of planets and the effects if the planets are placed in a certain order.
