You’re a Star!
Stars are giant balls of hot gases mostly hydrogen and
—
helium held together by gravity. Most of them form inside
—
clouds of gas and dust called nebulas. But what makes stars
glow? They shine as pressure inside them turns hydrogen
into helium, which makes a lot of energy and light. Stars
shine for as long as they have hydrogen fuel.
Nebulas are sometimes
called star nurseries because
stars are born inside them.
The Eagle Nebula is also called
the Pillars of Creation because it
is the birthplace of so many stars.
NO, THANKS.
I’LL MAKE YOU I’D RATHER STAY
A STAR! HERE ON EARTH.
