Life of a Star

How these connect

Giant molecular cloud and what it relates to. Every line is an evidence-backed relation, and the arrangement is fixed — this address draws this picture, today and next year.

  1. Eagle Nebula (Messier 16) and the Pillars of Creation · instance_of · Giant molecular cloud

    The Eagle Nebula pillars are dense molecular gas and dust within an active star-forming complex.

  2. Planetary nebula · supplies · Giant molecular cloud

    Ejected AGB envelopes return carbon, nitrogen and s-process elements to the interstellar medium as the nebula disperses.

  3. Protostar · derived_from · Giant molecular cloud

    A protostar is a collapsed and heated core of a molecular cloud, and no other environment is known to produce one.

  4. Supernova · supplies · Giant molecular cloud

    Supernova ejecta return iron-peak and lighter heavy elements to the interstellar gas from which later generations of stars form.
