How do stars die? zoom_in

Stars die in different ways depending on their mass. Low-mass stars like the Sun eventually become white dwarfs, while high-mass stars explode in a supernova and leave behind a neutron star or a black hole. The death of a star is determined by its mass and the balance between gravity and nuclear fusion.
