Stars are not created equal. They span a broad range of sizes, ages, and temperatures from diminutive red, cool, low-mass stars to opulent blue, hot, massive stars. Our Sun is roughly midway between these populations. Because stars are the universe’s LEGO blocks for building immense galaxies, astronomers are always seeking a much better understanding of their birth and death. Stars’ behavior over their lifespan relates to everything from planets to the formation and evolution of galaxies.
