life cycle of a star

Astar is born stages common  to all stars  all stars  as a nebula is a large cloud  of gas and dust 
Gravity  can pull some of the gas and dust in nebula  together The  contracting cloud is then called a  protoster  A protostar is the earliest stage of a star life  a star is born when the gas and  dust from a nebula become so hot that nuclear  fusion starts Once  a stat has  turned on it is known as  a main sequence star . When a main sequence star begins  to run out of hydrogen fuel the star becomes  a red giant or a red super  giant. The death of a low or medium mass star  after a low medium   or  star has become  a red giant the other  parts grow bigger  and drift into space froming a cloud of gas  a  planetary  nebula . The  blue  white hot core of the stare that is left behind cools and becomes a white dwarf eventually run out of fuel and dies as black dwarf . The death of  a high mass star a dying red super giant star can suddenly explode . The expoosion  is called  a supernova. After the star explosion  some  of materials from  the star are left behind . This material  my from a neuteron star  are the remains of high mass stars The  most massive stars black holes when they die  after a large mass star explodes a large amount  of mass may remain The gravity of the mass is so strong that gass is pulled inward pulling more gas into a  smaller and smaller space Eventually  the gravity becomes so strong that nothing can escape not even light.
