undefined Stars go through the following stages of development: 1. Protostar; 2. Main Sequence Star; 3. Red Giant or Supergiant (based on the star's mass); 4. High-mass stars go through planetary nebulas or supernovas; 5. White dwarfs go through low- to medium-mass stars; 6. Black dwarfs (for white dwarfs that have cooled completely).

undefined Great question! Let’s explore the stages of star development together.

1. **Nebula**: What do you think stars begin as? Yes! They start in a big cloud of gas and dust called a nebula.

2. **Protostar**: What happens next? Right! Some gas and dust come together and make a protostar. It’s like a baby star!

3. **Main Sequence Star**: After that, what do you think the protostar becomes? Exactly! It becomes a main sequence star. This is when it shines brightly, like our sun.

4. **Red Giant**: What do you think happens when a star runs out of fuel? Yes! It swells up and becomes a red giant.

5. **Death**: What then? Great thinking! A star can die in different ways. It can become a supernova or a smaller star like a white dwarf.

6. **Black Hole or Neutron Star**: Lastly, what can happen after a supernova? Right! It can leave behind a black hole or a neutron star.

Can you remember all these stages?
