A star is a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by self-gravity. [1] The nearest star to Earth is the Sun.Many other stars are visible to the naked eye at night; their immense distances from Earth make them appear as fixed points of light. The most prominent stars have been categorised into constellations and asterisms, and many of the brightest stars have proper names.

2024年10月22日 · Astronomers call stars that are stably undergoing nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium main sequence star s.This is the longest phase of a star’s life. The star’s luminosity, size, and temperature will slowly change over millions or billions of years during this phase.

Of the tens of billions of trillions of stars composing the observable universe, only a very small percentage are visible to the naked eye.Many stars occur in pairs, multiple systems, or star clusters.The members of such stellar groups are physically …

2025年3月20日 · More than 60 years after the first debunked discovery of a planet orbiting Barnard’s Star, the closest single-star system to Earth, a pair of telescopes has revealed multiple rocky worlds around it

NASA/ESA image The open star cluster Pismis 24 is in the nebula NGC 6357.It has some of the largest stars known. Pismis 24-1 has nearly 300 times the mass of the Sun.It is a multiple system of at least three stars.

A star is a huge sphere of very hot, glowing gas. Stars produce their own light and energy by a process called nuclear fusion. Fusion happens when lighter elements are forced to become heavier elements.
