More detailed explanation, just in case: - Nebula: Is a huge cloud of gas and dust where gravity begins pulling material together, which would eventually become a star (millions of years). - Protostar: This stage happens right after the nebula has collapsed and is dense and hot, too. The protostar stage becomes a true star only if its core temperature gets high enough for hydrogen fusion. - Brown Dwarf: This is not a stage, but is part of a protostar's evolution. Brown dwarfs had many potential, yet they did not have the right temperature in their core to have long‑term hydrogen fusion. It is a failed star that becomes a dwarf. - Main Sequence: Happens once the hydrogen fusion has ignited the core, producing steady energy to balance with gravity. And has a stable, long-lasting life, becoming a main-sequence star. - Red Giant: The main sequence star's core has used up all of its hydrogen, leading to the core's hydrogen fusion to stop, and the outer layer expands but cools off, which then becomes the red giant we know. - Planetary Nebula: Appears when the red giant's outer layer drifts away, making the red giant slowly expose its core (the white dwarf). Spreading elements into space (like Helium, Hydrogen, and Carbon). - White Dwarf: The white dwarf appears after the planetary nebula has fully disappeared. The white dwarf is the last stage of a star's remaining light. It is extremely hot and has an extremely long life span, but you'll have to be much closer to feel its heat than it is with an average star. - Black Dwarf: The final stage of our star's life. The black dwarf is theoretical, as scientist had not found an actual one, which could be because it no longer emits light or that simply no star has reached that end point.
