звезда
Star
Звезда представляет собой массивную, светящуюся сферу плазмы, удерживаемую вместе своей собственной гравитацией. Ближайшей звездой на Земле является Солнце, которое является источником большей части энергии планеты. Некоторые другие звезды видны с Земли ночью, появляясь как множество неподвижных светящихся точек из-за их огромного расстояния. Исторически наиболее известные звезды были сгруппированы в созвездия и астеризмы, а самые яркие звезды получили собственные имена. Обширные каталоги звезд собраны астрономами, которые обеспечивают стандартизованные звездообразные обозначения. По крайней мере, часть его жизни, звезда сияет из-за термоядерного синтеза водорода в гелий в его ядре, выделяя энергию, которая пересекает внутренность звезды, а затем излучает в космическое пространство. Как только водород в сердцевине звезды почти исчерпан, почти все природные элементы, более тяжелые, чем гелий, создаются звездным нуклеосинтезом во время жизни звезды, а для некоторых звезд — нуклеосинтезом сверхновых, когда он взрывается. В конце своей жизни звезда может также содержать вырожденную материю. A star is a massive, luminous sphere of plasma held together by its own gravity. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun, which is the source of most of the planet’s energy. Some other stars are visible from Earth during the night, appearing as a multitude of fixed luminous points due to their immense distance. Historically, the most prominent stars were grouped into constellations and asterisms, and the brightest stars gained proper names. Extensive catalogues of stars have been assembled by astronomers, which provide standardized star designations. For at least a portion of its life, a star shines due to thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium in its core, releasing energy that traverses the star’s interior and then radiates into outer space. Once the hydrogen in the core of a star is nearly exhausted, almost all naturally occurring elements heavier than helium are created by stellar nucleosynthesis during the star’s lifetime and, for some stars, by supernova nucleosynthesis when it explodes. Near the end of its life, a star can also contain degenerate matter.
