We see planets and the moon because they reflect sunlight:
The sun is different – it produces its own light.

CometsCometsComets are balls of dust and frozen gas. They have very elliptical orbits:
As the comet approaches the sun gases evaporate from it, forming a “tail”. This tail always faces AWAY from the sun

If you pass the light through a gas something different is seen…
Some wavelengths of light are absorbed by the gas.

These patterns are called absorption spectra…
…because they show which wavelengths of light are absorbed by the gas (this is how we know the sun is made of helium).

The absorption lines have all been “shifted” towards the longer wavelength end (red end)…
This is called red shift. The faster the light source moves the further its light will be “shifted”
![Page 34: The Earth and Beyond. There are nine planets in our solar system: Mercury Mars Jupiter Saturn Neptune Uranus Pluto Venus Earth](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d0e5503460f949e3c7d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Light from different stars and from the edge of the universe also shows this “red-shift”. This suggests that everything in the universe is moving away from a single point.
This is the BIG BANG theory

If the light source is moving ___ from us we would find that the absorption lines are all _______ towards the ___ end of the spectrum (the longer wavelength end). The ________ the light source is moving the further its pattern is shifted. Light from the edge of the ______ also shows this pattern, so we assume that the edges of the universe are all moving away from a single point. This is called the ___ _____ theory.

Stage 1: NEBULAE
A nebulae is a collection of dust, gas and rock.
Some examples of nebulae…

Stage 2: PROTOSTARGravity will slowly pull these particles together…
As they move inwards their gravitational potential energy is converted into heat and a PROTOSTAR is formed
![Page 43: The Earth and Beyond. There are nine planets in our solar system: Mercury Mars Jupiter Saturn Neptune Uranus Pluto Venus Earth](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d0e5503460f949e3c7d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Stage 3: MAIN SEQUENCE STAR
Our sun is an example of a main sequence star – it’s in the middle of a 10 billion year life
span
In a main sequence star the forces of attraction pulling the particles inwards are BALANCED by forces acting outwards due to the huge temperatures inside the star.
Stars are basically nuclear reactors that use hydrogen as a fuel. During its main sequence a star will release energy by converting hydrogen and helium (light elements) into heavier elements.
![Page 44: The Earth and Beyond. There are nine planets in our solar system: Mercury Mars Jupiter Saturn Neptune Uranus Pluto Venus Earth](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d0e5503460f949e3c7d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Stage 4: RED GIANT
Eventually the hydrogen and helium will run out. When this happens the star will become colder and redder and start to swell, forming a RED GIANT.
![Page 45: The Earth and Beyond. There are nine planets in our solar system: Mercury Mars Jupiter Saturn Neptune Uranus Pluto Venus Earth](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d0e5503460f949e3c7d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Stage 5: THE DEATH
What happens at this point depends on the size of the star…
1) For SMALL stars the red giant will collapse under its own gravity and form a very dense white dwarf:
Red giant Black dwarf
White dwarf
![Page 46: The Earth and Beyond. There are nine planets in our solar system: Mercury Mars Jupiter Saturn Neptune Uranus Pluto Venus Earth](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d0e5503460f949e3c7d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
2) If the red giant is VERY BIG it will shrink and then EXPLODE, releasing massive amounts of energy, dust and gas.
Before After
This explosion is called a SUPERNOVA
![Page 47: The Earth and Beyond. There are nine planets in our solar system: Mercury Mars Jupiter Saturn Neptune Uranus Pluto Venus Earth](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d0e5503460f949e3c7d/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The dust and gas on the outside of the supernova are thrown away by the explosion and the remaining core turns into a NEUTRON STAR.
If the star is big enough it could become a BLACK HOLE.
![Page 48: The Earth and Beyond. There are nine planets in our solar system: Mercury Mars Jupiter Saturn Neptune Uranus Pluto Venus Earth](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d0e5503460f949e3c7d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Stage 6: Second generation starsThe dust and gas thrown out by a supernova can be used to form a new star…
Our sun is believed to be a “second generation star” – this is because it contains some heavier elements along with hydrogen and helium. These heavier elements would have been the products of a previous star that have been thrown out by a supernova. These heavier elements are also found on planets, indicating that they might have been made from remains of previous stars as well.
