Interactive links about stars

Here are some wonderful links to learn about stars

Life Cycle of a Star
(This link will teach you all about how stars form from nebulae, age and change into other stars, die (nova, super nova, collapse into blackholes, or just run out of fuel) form nebulae, and turn into new stars!)



Interactive HR diagram
The H-R diagram will show the life cycle of a star and the connection between luminousity and temperature.


H-R Diagram Interactive
Similar to the one above (this one is from an online text book and appears very small unless you buy a link to the textbook, but it's still pretty cool)
Astronomy Java Applets
(lots of little demos!)
