Stellar Evolution

Definition of Stellar Evolution as it relates to Science, Astronomy, Cosmochemistry, Nebulae, Galactic Nebulae

Stellar Evolution: The natural process by which stars change over time, beginning with their formation within a nebula and ending with their demise as a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole. This process is influenced by the star's mass, composition, and location within a galaxy. Stellar Evolution encompasses various stages including protostars, main sequence stars, red giants, supernovae, and remnants. As a subfield of Cosmochemistry, it examines the chemical abundances and isotopic ratios within stars to understand their formation and evolution, providing crucial insights into the history and future of our galaxy.
