    I totally remember looking at pictures of star clusters in our encyclopedia when I was a kid in 1960. Pictures from the Wickes and Lowell observatories. I even talked my granddad into taking me to the Mt Wilson observatory not too far from where we lived, I was ecstatic, but alas I didn't get to look through one of their telescopes. I didn't become an astronomer, but did become a biologist working in the aerospace field. I'm retired now, but I did get to become a scientist.

    Q. Does the helium 3 act as a firestarter for the hydrogen fusion?Q. Do all the stars form at the same time by a process of chain reaction - the first exerts radiation pressure on the surrounding gas and dust sufficient to trigger gravitational collapse all around it and so on?

    So if this is how pretty much every star is formed then all stars like our sun and smaller are pretty close to some high mass stars that go super nova when they are very young. I wonder if that could have something to do with life starting chemistry. Thought from any of you super smart egg heads?

    Do big stars fuse hydrogen very quickly, or do they die quickly because they can only fuse small fraction of it before they blow up ?

  • @pipertripp

    @pipertripp

    6 жыл бұрын

    Kavetrol it's both. To remain in hydrostatic equilibrium, high mass stars must fuse hydrogen quickly. They are also less opaque than low mass stars, so they radiate more efficiently... which means that they must fuse more quickly to stay in hydrostatic equilibrium. They're also not fully convective like low mass stars, so like you said, they have proportionally less fuel to work with as well.

    Interesting question. This maybe be the answer is found: Star Clusters. When stars are born they develop from large clouds of molecular gas. This means that theyform in groups or clusters, since molecular clouds are composed of hundreds of solar masses of material. After the remnant gas is heated and blow away, the stars collect together by gravity.

    Caleb Engineering, LLC Any proposed explanation would start off as and remain a "story" if it cannot be or is not tested against observed data. In scientific terminology, it would be described as a postulation. However, if the "story" repeatedly agrees with more observed data vetted by peers, it becomes accepted as a theory. This status will remain until new observations/data create a need for adjustment or replacement with a different "story" (theory). Eventually an accepted theory is considered factual after standing the test of time. This is known as the scientific method. And thus the human race takes another step forward. Repeat.

    Maybe the shockwave of a near supernova hit the primordial Hydrogen/Helium-Cloud and caused it to collapse into stars. That's usually how it happens. One way to tell is to look at the metallicity of the stars. If there are traces of heavy elements (anything above Lithium), it's a sign that a supernova was involved.

    To be fair, the paper he's reading from is from 1993-4, and observational precision improves as time goes on. One thing in particular is that distance estimates get better, and that has an effect on the perceived properties of stars, hence an effect on age estimates. It may well also be due in part to an improved theoretical understanding of stellar interiors.

    Stars are electric driven not gravity driven. Its not nuclear oven. Sun surface temp is 5000 C, Chromosphere is 10000 C and Corona more than 1000000 C. If the nuclear oven model was correct the closer to the oven the hotter it gets but its completely opposite.

    you must be a fan of the electric universe model. I have to agree that many of their theories are intriguing and deserve further study there is no doubt about that. following your comment I find fault in what you say. It may be in the wording etc. but it does get hotter as you get closer it's all a matter of perspective I would guess as you approach the sun the temp does increase and as you pass it's outer atmosphere it will decrease according to its relative distance from the surface itself.

    The main source of energy put out by the sun is by the process of nuclear fusion, and it is thought that the Corona and Chromossphere are so hot because of induced currents by the changing magnetic field of the sun, however they are very faint and thin compared to the Photonsphere. And below the Photonsphere the nuclear oven model generally holds true.
