Life of Stars
Stars undergo a dramatic transformation at the end of their life cycle, collapsing under gravity when fusion ceases. A white dwarf, incredibly dense yet small, is held up by electron degeneracy pressure until it reaches the chandrasekhar limit, leading to the formation of a neutron star. If further mass is added, the neutron star succumbs to gravity, resulting in a black hole—an entity so powerful that not even light can escape its grasp, challenging our understanding of reality itself.In this clip
