The evolution of stars - Illustration - The evolution of stars - Illustration - All stars are born in interstellar clouds but according to their masses they will follow different destinies. From top to bottom: - The brown dwarf - The red dwarf, a small star that will become a white dwarf and then a black dwarf. - A star of the same type as the Sun, which will evolve into a red giant then planetary nebula to become a white dwarf and end up as a black dwarf. - A blue giant star that becomes supergeant red to explode in supernova and finish either black hole or neutron star. Every stars come to life in interstellar clouds, but their evolution will depend on their mass; from top to bottom: - A brown dwarf - A red dwarf, a small star which will slowly collapse to become a white dwarf then a black dwarf. - A Sun - like star will become a red giant then a planetary nebula, a white dwarf and will end as a black dwarf. - A blue star will become a red supergiant, then will explode in a supernova

Brown dwarf star Gliese 229b: Artist's view of the brown dwarf star Gliese 229 B seen from a possible satellite. Discovered in 1995 in the constellation Lievre at 18 light years from Earth, this brown dwarf is 30 to 40 times more massive than Jupiter and would be 2 to 4 billion years old. Top left is the red dwarf star Gliese 229A. This is how the brown dwarf Gliese 229b might appear from a satellite. Gliese 229 b was discovered in 1995 and is 19 light years from the Earth. This brown dwarf orbits the red dwarf Gliese 229A in the constellation Lepus. Gliese A can be seen shining dimly on the upper left. These two dwarfs are about four billion miles apart, about the same distance between Pluto and our sun

Brown dwarf star Gliese 229 b - Brown dwarf Gliese 229 b - Artist view of the brown dwarf star Gliese 229B. Discovered in 1995 in the constellation Lievre at 18 years - light from Earth, this brown dwarf is 30 to 40 times more massive than Jupiter and is estimated to be 2 to 4 billion years old. Top left is the red dwarf star Gliese 229A. This is how the brown dwarf Gliese 229b might appear from a distance of about a half million miles. Glowing like a charcoal ember, Gliese 229 b was discovered in 1995 and is 19 light years from the Earth. This brown dwarf orbits the red dwarf Gliese 229A in the constellation Lepus. Gliese A can be seen shining dimly on the upper left. These two dwarfs are about four billion miles apart, about the same distance between Pluto and our sun. Gliese 229 b is believed to be 30 to 40 times more massive than the planet Jupiter, which is massive enough for Gliese 229 b to sustain deuterium fusion, but not enough mass to initiate hydrogen fusion like our Sun.

Brown dwarf around the red dwarf star Gliese 229 - Brown dwarf around red dwarf Gliese 229 - First false-colored image of a brown dwarf. With a mass of 20 to 50 times that of Jupiter, but of a diameter equivalent to the gas planet, GL229B, is orbiting around the red dwarf star Gliese 229, about 18 years - light from Earth in the constellation Lievre. On the left, the observation made from the ground in adaptive optics at Mount Palomar, October 27, 1994. On the right, the image obtained by the Hubble space telescope on November 17, 1995. These two false - color telescope images reveal the faintest object ever seen around a star beyond our Sun, and the first unambiguous detection of a brown dwarf. The brown dwarf, called GL229B, orbits the red dwarf star Gliese 229, located approximately 18 light - years away in the constellation Lepus. The brown dwarf is about 20 - 50 times the mass of Jupiter, but is so dense it is about the same diameter as Jupiter (80,000 miles). Brown dwarfs are a m

Double star Gliese 623 - Double star system Gliese 623 in Hercules - Gliese 623 is a double star located about 25 years ago - light in the constellation Hercules. The Hubble space telescope was able for the first time to obtain an image of the two stars that make up this system, in June 1994. The two stars are separated by about twice the distance from Earth to Sun. On the right, 623b, a star 60,000 times less bright than the Sun, and 10 times less massive. Its nature is misidentified, it's a red dwarf or a brown dwarf. A dim double star system cataloged as Gliese 623 lies 25 light - years from Earth, in the constellation of Hercules.

It is an intrinsically faint red star, more than ten magnitudes (ten thousand times) fainter than the Sun. It is also much cooler, with a surface temperature of about 3100 C. Its visual (apparent) magnitude is eleven, so it is only visible with a good telescope, and only then from southern latitudes. Proxima is about one - tenth the mass of the sun, which accounts for its low surface temperature.

Red Dwarf Star Proxima of Centauri - Proxima Centauri in X - Ray - Proxima of Centaur (in the center of the image) is the closest star to the Sun, at a distance of 4.2 years - light. It belongs to the triple Alpha star system of the Centaurus being the least bright star of this system; it is a red dwarf star. X-ray image obtained by the Chandra space telescope. Chandra and XMM - Newton observations of the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri have shown that its surface is in a state of turmoil. Flares, or explosive outbursts, occur almost continually. This behavior can be traced to Proxima Centauri's low mass, about a tenth that of the Sun. In the cores of low mass stars, nuclear fusion reactions that convert hydrogen to helium proceed very slowly, and create a turbulent, convective motion throughout their interiors. This motion stores up magnetic energy which is often released explosively in the star's upper atmosphere where it produces flares in X - rays and other forms of light. The same

Chandra and XMM - Newton observations of the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri have shown that its surface is in a state of turmoil. Flares, or explosive outbursts, occur almost continually. This behavior can be traced to Proxima Centauri's low mass, about a tenth that of the Sun. In the cores of low mass stars, nuclear fusion reactions that convert hydrogen to helium proceed very slowly, and create a turbulent, convective motion throughout their interiors. This motion stores up magnetic energy which is often released explosively in the star's upper atmosphere where it produces flares in X - rays and other forms of light. The same

Discovered in 20074, this exoplanet in the constellation Libra is considered to be potentially habitable. The atmosphere is dense and its thick cloud layer would plunge the surface into a reddish shade. Artist's impression of the star red dwarf Gliese 581 shining in the sky of the extrasolar planet Gliese 581 d.

Proxima du Centaur is located at a distance of 4.22 light years from the Sun but is invisible to the naked eye. Alpha Centauri A and B are a little further away, 4.36 light years from the Sun. These two stars are relatively similar to the Sun. Although Proxima of Centauri is distant from the Alpha couple of Centauri, its movement seems to link it to this system and is sometimes called Alpha Centauri C - This image of the sky around the bright star Alpha Centauri AB also shows the much fainter red dwarf star, Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Solar System. The picture was created from pictures forming part of the Digitized Sky Survey 2. The blue halo around Alpha Centauri AB is an artifact of the photographic process, the star is really pale yellow in colour like the Sun

From its surface, its star, about 100 times less bright than our Sun, must be large in the sky because of its proximity to the planet.

Artist's view of an eruptive star - Flare star. Artwork - An eruptive star is a variable star that can manifest a dramatic and imforeseeable increase in luminosite from a few minutes to a few hours. From X-rays to radios, the spectrum increases in intensity. Eruptive stars are red dwarves, although recent research indicates that brown dwarves may also be capable of eruptions. A flare star is a variable star which can undergo unpredictable dramatic increases in brightness for a few minutes or a few hours. The brightness increase is across the spectrum, from X - rays to radio waves. Flare stars are dim red dwarfs, although recent research indicates that brown dwarfs might also be capable of flaring
