Has anyone else heard of that gravity waves may be the result of another type of supernova remains, called a Grav-Star? It seems almost to physically mimic a neuron star but stopped just shy of becoming a black hole, yet it still has enough of a gravity well to prevent light from escaping. Is...

:) They cannot make a (fusioning) star but a donut (Tokamak)? Sure. Order us up that Magnetically-bottled ring please. Thank you for the input, I appreciate it. Yourself and others here have provided some truly insightful information and some links to even more to help me understand solar...

Yes, that is something I had originally considered. The state of different elements existing as plasma, it would simplify (as well as complicate) many questions of how a star works. I decided against thinking that about stars (nuclear fusion process) operating this way as scientist can...

Hello and thank you for the response. As I am also happy that it (the Sun) continues to fuse. :) {There is no fusion 'Halfinum'} So (If I am understanding you correctly sir) it isn't necessarily the content OR the fusion process of iron. It (end of a stars life) is dependent of the physical...

Thank you (again). This has helped my understanding a lot and I appreciate the time and patience you have taken to explain it. The evolution of stars has fascinated me for years and the various stages they go through are interestingly complex yet simple when looked at from a novice POV. The...

Hello. Thank you for the link (interesting info) to types of stars. It answered some but also raised another. If iron is a "fusion killer", how can some metallic containing stars continue to keep from collapsing within short periods of time? (millions of years vice billions). The article in...

Hello. First post here so hi all. My question(s) is regarding the formation of solar masses by accretion of gases and dust. From what I understand, stars are formed by large clouds of gasses and dust particles pulling together and with enough gravity, (magnetic fields), and time. A fusion...
