Stars can fail and become a brown dwarf. Stars form when the density of the concentration of molecular clouds collapses and reaches a certain point. These regions are usually extremely cold and contain carbon and hydrogen. However, not all materials from the clouds form stars. Some of the…

    Since the first planet orbiting a star other than our Sun was discovered almost 20 years ago, astronomers have detected over 3,000 exoplanets. Going forward, exoplanetary scientists have two major goals: detecting smaller, more Earth-like planets, and characterizing particular planets of interest. With the advent of the extremely large telescope (ELT) era soon approaching, these two goals will become increasingly intertwined as better instruments give us the power to study the atmospheres of…

    universe Imagine a star between four and eight times the mass of our sun exploding into a supernova. Next imagine watching the inner core condense into a sphere due to the enormous gravity of the star like there’s a new star forming in its place. This new star is so dense it smashes electrons and protons together forming neutrons which form a neutron star. This is the recipe for a pulsar. There are several types of neutron stars but this essay will highlight pulsars. When the star explodes it…
