What is a low or medium mass of star becomes and what at the end of its life?

A low or medium mass star will eventually evolve into a red giant as it depletes its core hydrogen fuel. Towards the end of its life, it will shed its outer layers and form a planetary nebula, leaving behind a dense core called a white dwarf.


What is a low- meduim- mass star the becomes the end of its life?

A low to medium-mass star eventually evolves into a red giant as it runs out of fuel in its core. After shedding its outer layers, the star will collapse into a white dwarf, which is the end stage of its life cycle.


A small dense star that forms at the end of a medium stars life cycle is?

Once a medium sized star has consumed all it's fuel it becomes a White Dwarf star (just the extremely dense core of the original star remains composed mainly of carbon). A White Dwarf star will, however, eventually lose it's heat to become a Black Dwarf.


How was the boomerang nebula formed?

The Boomerang Nebula is a planetary nebula [See related question]. It would have been formed when a medium sized star came to the end of it's life and in that process shed off layers of material from the star. This created the nebula we see today.


How do the lives of the most massive stars end?

Less massive stars end up as white dwarfs. More massive stars end up as a supernova or a neutron star or for the really massive stars...as a black hole. As a star ends its time in the main sequence it either becomes a Red Giant and end its life as a White Dwarf or becomes a White Super Giant and ends its life in an explosion (supernova) and if it's really dense it becomes a neutron star or a black hole as mentioned above.

Does a star turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle?

Yes, a star of low to medium mass, like the sun, will eventually turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle. This occurs after the star has exhausted its nuclear fuel and shed its outer layers.


What and average size star looks at the end of its life?

The average star will become a white dwarf at the end of its life.


What characteristic determines if a star will end its life as a black hole or neutron star?

The mass of the star.


Will a protostar form near the end of a star's life cycle?

No, a protostar is basically the BEGINNING of a star's life cycle.


Will a supermassive star end up as a Neutron Star?

Yes, unless it goes one step further and becomes a black hole.


Where in the life of a star does a blue giant belong?

I don't know about blue giants, but red giants are at the end of a star's life.
