Stars can live long lives, but they also die, and sometimes their deaths help new stars be born. Imagine a giant balloon that slowly deflates over time until it pops, that's like what happens to some stars. When they pop, they release a burst of energy and materials into space. These materials can form brand-new stars nearby, just like how seeds from a tree can grow into new trees.
Examples
- A dying star can create the building blocks for a brand-new star, like a seed growing into a tree.
- When a star explodes, it throws out materials that might become part of another star's birth.
- A small star might slowly cool down and leave behind a tiny glowing remnant.
