Star Life Isn't Always So Bright

A giant cloud emerges to start a new beginning,
Full of hydrogen molecules, the nebula is fusing.
Gravity surely loves this dust in outer space,
A protostar lives a life that’s quite amusing.

Into helium the core develops,
Glowing red with swelling heat.
The hydrogen is running low,
Helium burning signals to complete.

The dwarven star glows small and bright,
With illusions of depleting masses.
Turning off the light switch for the night,
It shines its lively final flashes.

Another life could have been imagined,
For the stars who grow so large in size.
Creating a core of iron the helium depletes,
Collapsing in a supernova, remnants are its prize.

Into stardust meandering through the galaxies,
This neutron star is freshly magnetized.
At worst collected by the gravity’s tension,
A black hole swallows entire skies.
