I am pretty sure the table you consulted lists only the extremes - but of course you can have thousands or even millions of "near" stars and "bright" stars, depending on how far down the list you go. Note that any list of the first thousand (for example) nearest stars would probably be incomplete, since there are many dim stars (red dwarves) that are very hard to detect.

How do the elements of the whole periodic table relate to the lifecycle of a star?

A star is made up of Hydrogen and Helium, (the Helium coming from the fusion of Hydrogen atoms). When a star goes super nova, it is so hot that it fuses together gases so rapidly that it creates all of the elements on the periodic table.


Can stars the size of the sun produce elements heavier than oxygen?

Yes, oxygen can be found in the spectral lines of many stars. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stars are nuclear fusion furnaces that take light elements (hydrogen) and build them up into heavier elements (eg carbon and oxygen). Thus older and second or third generation stars have this element in their makeup.


Are constellation members of your solar system Explain?

No, they aren't. First of all, most constellations are illusory. The stars that make up a constellation seem to be related. Actually, they are almost never related to each other, they are vast differences apart both laterally, and depth-wise. They just appear to us to be a pattern. But to make it easier to understand, lets take the Pleiades, which are fairly close to each other, and not all that far away in celestial terms (about 540 light years.) Now imagine a pool table in your living room, with the balls on the table scattered about. That's our entiresolar system. The Pleiades are the balls scattered on a pool table in a living room two miles from your house.


All elements in the reriodic table with atomic numbers greathe than of the element are formed by the explosions of collapsing stars?

Elements with atomic numbers greater than that of iron (26) are formed through a process called supernova nucleosynthesis, which occurs during the explosive death of massive stars. These elements are created through rapid neutron capture processes, leading to the production of heavy elements like gold, platinum, and uranium.


How are the elements formed that are on the periodic table?

You cannot form elements on the periodic table of elements. All the elements on this table were already in existence before man ever set foot on the earth. An element is a substance that cannot be broken down into a simpler state, meaning that man could not form one element out of two things, because then it could be broken down into those two separate things once again.

What is the relationship between the periodic table and a supernova?

The elements on the periodic table were created by stars through nuclear fusion. We use the term stellar nucleosynthesis to describe what stars are doing through fusion. Stars fuse hydrogen into helium, and then start making heavier elements by a different fusion process. But stars can only make elements up through iron. They can't make the heavier elements. Enter the supernova. A supernova is that "big blast" that occurs at the end of the life of some stars. In a supernova, the trans-iron elements are formed. That is, all the elements heavier than iron are formed in a supernova. Because the elements heavier than iron are formed in a supernova, we can say that there is a relationship between the supernova and the periodic table of elements.


What do the stars on a table tennis ball represent?

Stars on ping pong balls represents the quality of the ping pong ball. They go from a scale of 1 star to 3 stars where 1 is the lowest and 3 is the highest representing that the ball was made from high quality plastic and bounces better.


Where do scientists believe chmical evolution occurred?

The higher elements are forged in the center of stars. Most stars can create up to about element 6-8 on the periodic table, but any elements higher than that require a super nova.


How do scientists use spectroscope to gather information about stars?

Scientists can use spectroscopes to gather information because the light from the stars that passes through has a certain color. Each element on the Periodic Table has a specific color. This way, scientist can figure out of which gases the star consists of.


What is the actual name of those circular blades that assassins in movies throw?

Japanese throwing stars. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assume they meant Shuriken for the "stars". But if you really mean "circular" as in full on rings, then they're known as Chakram. Smaller rings are Quoit. Or for the truly low brow, "Chinese stars". Coming to a flea market table near you! Only a movie assassin would not loath these for use in taking anothers life.
