Generation

## Star Life Cycle **Nebula → Protostar → Main Sequence Star → Red Giant → (White Dwarf + Planetary Nebula) OR Supernova → (Neutron Star OR Black Hole)** The path after red giant depends on mass: low/medium mass stars become white dwarfs, while massive stars explode as supernovae. ## Why It Matters Stellar life cycles create and distribute all elements heavier than hydrogen and helium through nuclear fusion and supernova explosions—meaning every atom in your body was forged inside stars. Understanding this process explains both the chemical composition of the universe and the ultimate fate of our own Sun, which will eventually engulf Earth in ~5 billion years before becoming a white dwarf.
