Helium burning is most durable stage in stellar evolution.
The first stage of stellar evolution is nebula.
The longest stage of stellar evolution is the main sequence phase.
Main Sequence
I know of no star by that name.
Our Sun is currently on the Main Sequence stage of it's evolution.
The main sequence stage is a point in the stellar evolution of stars in the universe at which every star converts hydrogen into helium in its cores and releases huge amounts of energy.
Type II supernova. Formation of a neutron star or black hole.
In G-type stars, this would be the white dwarf stage. More massive stars could continue to fuse ever heavier elements, until the fusion products consist mainly of iron, and the stellar core collapses into a neutron star or a black hole.
The stage of stellar evolution characterized by the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms is known as the main sequence phase. During this phase, a star generates energy through nuclear fusion in its core, balancing the gravitational forces pulling inward with the outward pressure from the fusion reactions. This stage can last billions of years, depending on the star's mass. The Sun, for example, has been in the main sequence stage for about 4.6 billion years and is expected to remain in this phase for several billion more.
In its next main stage of stellar evolution, the Sun is expected to enter the red giant phase. As it exhausts hydrogen in its core, the core will contract and heat up, causing the outer layers to expand significantly. This expansion will ultimately engulf the inner planets, including Mercury and Venus, and possibly Earth. Eventually, the Sun will shed its outer layers, leaving behind a white dwarf surrounded by a planetary nebula.
After a stellar nebula, the next stage in stellar evolution depends on the mass of the star that forms from it. For a low to medium mass star, like our Sun, the nebula condenses to form a protostar, which eventually evolves into a main sequence star. In contrast, for more massive stars, after the protostar stage, they also enter the main sequence phase but will eventually progress to more complex stages, leading to supernova events and the formation of neutron stars or black holes.
