[The blazing hot stars]

[Introduction]


Have you ever looked up in the sky and looked at the blazing hot stars. Did you know that red stars are cold and blue stars are hot, these are some facts about the blazing hot stars


[Paragraph 1 - change this to your first subheading Types of stars]


There are different colors of stars there are blue, red and ultraviolet. Red stars-are most common red dwarfs. One of the smallest known stars in our galaxy is VB 10. It is only around 20% larger than jupiter. During a supernova event, enough light is released is outshine an entire galaxy of billion of stars.



[Life Cycle]


For a star to be born which is called Nebulae it needs a clump of dust and gas. The life span of our own star the sun is around 10 billion years. When a giant star begins to die, its center shrinks. A star will become either a black dwarf, neutron star or a black hole, depending  on how massive it was. Stars are formed in nebulae, interstellar cloud of dust and gas (mostly hydrogen).




[General Information]


Stars can live for billions of years. The sun is a star too it is the closest star to earth. Ancient civilization knew when a year had passed by observing changing patterns in the stars. The name star came from the ancient Greek word ‘aster’ which means star. There are stars that comes only on matariki they are all sister’s. Hot is enough to turn gold like our sun, but it shine’s for much longer.




[Appearance]

The giant star may have disappeared from sight but its gravity remains. Did you also know that Sirius (the brightest star) it is the first star you will see. On a clear Moonless night, you will notice two fuzzy patch as of light. the smaller one is called Magellanic cloud!  Most Stars are too small to shine bright as the sun. Many stars and the sun, have spots on their surface which are the cooler areas.


My Information Report Success Criteria:
Self
Peer
My heading/title: The hot helium gas star!


  • is an interesting title (I might have phrased the title as a question.)


My opening paragraph/introduction:


  • says what my report is about in a clear way


  • gives a general “classification” – and maybe a technical classification


  • outlines the main features of the subject
