Most, but not all, scientists agree with Stephen Hawking and others who say that the entire universe (or more than one) blasted out of a tiny "thing" in a process nicknamed the Big Bang. The Big Bang flung huge amounts of matter out and away from itself in gigantic clouds of something like dust.
The cloud of dust began swirling for various reasons in all directions, and eventually some of the swirling dust came together at the center of its own particular swirl. As the dust particles came closer and closer within the swirl, they started attracting each other by the force of gravity more than they had before.
Getting closer increased the force of gravity even more. Pretty soon . . . millions of years . . . the particles of dust attracted each other so hard that they 'fell' together with a common center.
Those tight swirls of dust that had a big enough mass created intense heat (due to the force of gravity) that a nuclear reaction started, and the swirl became a star, just like our Sun, and emitted a monstrous amount of radiation - some in the form of heat, some in the form of light, some in the form of cosmic rays and gamma rays, and so on.
Smaller swirls nearby eventually turned into planets . . . if these new 'proto' planets were in the right place, they would orbit the new star and become a star system. We call our star system by the name of its star, "Sol". (sawl) So our star system is called the Solar (Sol-ar) (SOLE-uhr) System.

In the Ptolemaic Greek model of the universe the stars are attached to the?
In the Ptolemaic Greek model of the universe, the stars are thought to be attached to the celestial sphere, a hypothetical invisible sphere surrounding the Earth to which the stars were fixed. This model placed Earth at the center of the universe with all celestial bodies orbiting around it.
How many more stars does the current flag have?
The USA flag has 50 stars. The old USA flag had 13 stars. So that's a difference of 37
How do stars differ?
Stars differ in size, temperature, color, and mass. These differences dictate their brightness, lifespan, and the elements they produce through nuclear fusion reactions. Additionally, stars can vary in age, composition, and evolutionary stage, leading to a diverse range of stellar phenomena in the universe.
How are stars analized?
Stars are analyzed through telescopic observations, spectroscopy, and measurements of their characteristics such as luminosity, temperature, mass, and composition. Scientists also study the light emitted by stars to determine their age and evolutionary stage. Additionally, stellar models and simulations are used to understand the complex processes happening within stars.
What does the hertzsprung-russell diagram show?
The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is a scatter plot of stars showing their luminosity (brightness) versus temperature (color). It helps astronomers classify stars based on their size, age, and evolutionary stage. The diagram is crucial for understanding the life cycle of stars and predicting their future evolution.
