How Do Intermediate Mass Stars Die? ✨ Intermediate-mass stars (between 1.4 and 8 times the mass of the sun) have a more dramatic end. After the core of the star has fused lighter elements into heavier ones, it eventually becomes iron. Since iron cannot be fused into heavier elements, the core is no longer able to generate heat and pressure, causing it to collapse. This collapse is so powerful that it triggers a supernova explosion. The outer layers of the star are expelled into space, while the core is compressed into a very dense object known as a neutron star. #astronomy #stellarastronomy
TRAPPIST-1e is located within the habitable zone of its star, a distance from a star where the planet is hot enough to have liquid water on its surface and, therefore, potentially supports life as we know it on Earth. These planets are roughly the size of Earth, and three of them — planets labeled E, F, and G — are thought to lie within its habitable zone, the swath of space around the star at which a rocky planet can have liquid water on its surface, and therefore provide life a chance of rocky planets. TRAPPIST-1 is the only known system in which planets could raise substantial tides against one another, as the seven Earth-sized rocky planets are packed tightly around a cooling star.
