In 1905, independent Danish astronomer Ejnar Hertzsprung and American astronomer Henry Norris Russell gathered data of a star’s spectral type and there temperature. They plotted these data on graphs and discovered that many patterns emerged linking the mass of a star to its lifespan. From the noted trends and correlations they formed what is now known as the Hertzsprung Russell Diagram or commonly referred to as the HR Diagram. The HR Diagram is used as an important tool in the study of…
