Websites on Star Life Cycles

I'm posting links to different websites we have used and will use in class relating to a star's life cycle. If you have time, please check them out.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/space/birth-supernova-type-II.html - This links to a NOVA webpage which has an interactive animation where you discover what leads up to a supernova. Supernovas only occur in medium/high mass stars (10x the mass of our Sun).


http://mail.colonial.net/~hkaiter/life_cycle_of_a_star.htm - A very well done website which takes you into detail of a star's life cycle.

http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/teachers/lessons/xray_spectra/background-lifecycles.html - A webpage from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center which gives you a simple explanation of a star's life cycle.
