ExploraTour: A Peek into the Lives of the Stars
See for Yourself ..... Click on the Pictures
These are some pictures of a star exploding and what's left after stars explode. They show the clouds of gas that used to make up the star. In these clouds are tiny particles called atoms that will become part of new stars and planets. In fact, all of the atoms that make up you, your toys, your house and even the computer screen you are looking at right now, started out in an explosion much like the ones you see here. At the center of each of these gas clouds is all that is left of the star that started it all.
