The Life and Dealth of Stars
Posted: Thu May 07, 2015 8:55 am
My daughter wants to present to her 9th grade class the topic "stella evolution." She has collected star data to include the HR diagram showing the stars along the main sequence. This is not typically a "science experiment" as there is nothing that she will measure direcly, as all information will come from stella databases.
However, she loves astronomy, and wants to show our position in the Milky Way, the stars within our local neighborhood, and the path our sun will take on the HR diagram as Sol ages to eventually a White Dwaft.
The problem we are have is formulating a working hypothesis and hoping someone can suggest a hypothesis within the framework I have outlined. Appreciate any guidance, thanks.
