i never knew that that much went into making a star from silacone to nitrogen.coolest of all i would never think that there had to be a nucelear fusion. but im not sure what that has to do with a pancake. it would be so cool to see a star made i would pay big bucks for that but of coarse i bet we couldent see it from here
I didnt know that was how a star was made that they where blown up because of the gravity. Also i always thought that a star would turn into a black hole after they died. For all the people that think starts are pretty alls it is a big explosin in space.
i never know that a star had diffrent forms of becoming a star first the star draws in some gas and dust and larger partcal and after a wile it forms a star
i think the way a star is born is very interesting . the way they compare the way stars are born to a pankake and a ice skater is very unique. it is amazing how they know most of the ingredients and where they com in at in the prosses
I actaully knew how they have formed and they can cause Super Nova's but what I didn't know is that the residue from the star forms planets! These stars must have needed a TON of leftovers to cause a planet. But there was something the article didn't point out, Super Novas are narrowly missing earth every time. Once a nova hits us, we all go up in a bang.
I think it would be very cool to be able to see a star born or a star die because of what you would see from the images on the link. I thinkit would also be cool to see a sta die becausethe create black holes and in the future we could maybe we could put a prob into a black hole to see where they lead to.
Vaive, nuclear fission happens in power plants every day from splicing Uranium Fuel Rods. Also the pancake term is just to ive you a general idea of the shape, plus it was in cook book form so it was strangely appropriate.
I didnt know that it could take over hundred light years to form a star.Also I didnt know that to form a star you need hydrogen,helium gas,silicon,oxygen,carbon,iron and madnesium.Also I think that it is cool that stars can be formed because of gravity.I think it would be very cool to see a star to explode.I agree with Tony that after a star dies in trns into a blackhole.
i never thought of it that way, making a pancake compared to making a star hydrogen, helium, silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron. That is a lot of pancake ingredients. The core has to be spinning fast when the core collapses, causse i skate sometimes and i go really fast when i pull in my arms so compoaring that to somthing as big as the sun would have to be pretty fast. I think that is cool how the gas and dust keep funneling into the coe until it ghets hot and ignites a nuclear fusion. Ethan Merucrio
To Sean: I agree with you that I didnt know that residue from the stars could form planets.Do you think that is how Earth was made and the other planets?Also how long do you think for the sun to form since its a huge star???
i think that this was really interesting because iam interested in stars and space i think that, that was really cool how they compared stars and pancakes and the big bang i'd like to hear more about that. david holbrook
VELASQUEZ YAHANZ i didnt know you had to first make a starter disk to make a star form when some of the disk unites in nucular fusion and makes another star. it would be very nice to see that happen, though you might get thrown into the star when the disk pulls.
Why are they comparing stars to pancakes?...and i always wonder that if stars are reborn how they are always in the same place as the night before when it wasnt a new star yet. In the post where it says "Winds and radiation from the young star then blow away much of the remaining gas and dust around it" I thought there wasnt any wind in outter space and where does the remainding gas and dust go?
I never knew that to form a star you needed hydrogen, helium gas, silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium and iron. That is alot of ingrediants! I think it would be really neat to see a star form. That would be amazing! I also never knew gravity could form a star. I never knew how a star was formed. "The disk funnels much of it's gas and dust toward the core. When the core gets hot enough, it ignites nuclear fusion-and a new star is born."
I agree with you Alex.. I think it would be very cool to be able to see a star born or a star die. Mainly if when it dies since the star could form a blac hole.
i never thought of making a star as making a pancake, thats pretty weird. and they put a lot into it like hydrogen, helium, silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron, they even put dust in it. thats a lot of things to put in a pancake.
Deborah.. I was also wondering why they compared the star to a pancake. I think its just saying how when the star forms it looks like a pancake. And Rachel i was wondering that too. How long does it take all the huge starts to form?
I never knew that stars were made of so much, first hydrogen and helium droplets, then solid particles of silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium and iron. It's really cool how they compared a star being formed to a pancake being made, it really helped with the understanding. It doesnt seem that long for a star to be made, because there always seems to be tons of stars in the sky. I didn't know the 'lumps' of the stars actually form planets. It's really cool! I never thought stars can relate to pancakes, people and skaters so much. I would like to study stars more after reading how interesting it is to learn how a star is born.
I never knew a star was made by mixing Hydrogen, helium gas, silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium and iron.And how it spins and soon ignites nuclear fushion, which forms a a star.I thought it would be a shorter processes than this. I also was surprised how the remaning gas and dust can clump together which could coagulate to form a planet. I always thought planets were formed from like big rocks floating through space impacting on one another.
I never knew that a planet was formed by all that, and I definetly would not have related it to a pancake...? And it says that a giant cloud can take over a 100 light years to form... that's a long time!!!! I have never noticed how long it takes to make a planet.... I always thought that p,anets were formed in like 10 years max by big meteors colliding. Does anybody know how long a light year is???
Stars are made up of many different ingredients. They have large amounts of heliunm gas and hydrogen. these are the most abundant elemnts in the universe. they arealso made up of iron, magnesium, barbon, oxygen, and silicon. they can last over 100 light years. after a whilethe star starts collapse. when it collapses it spins. when it spins it forms into a flat disk. When it gets very hot it ignites nuclear fusion and it becomes another star. When the dust from the other star comes together it sometimes forms a planet. We don't know how but we are curious to find out.
I agree with Brendan, it would be awesome and interesting to watch a star form, and form planets, then die. Even though it would take a long time for it to be born and die.
I agree with Kaleb because there are so many things that have tohappen to form a star and Ithink it's really cool that stars are made up of so many elents like iron and magnesium.
@ sydney, I was thinking around the same process, that planets were formed by big rocks/meteors colliding...? but it is definetly nice to know that this is how they are formed...
Rachell, I agree with you that it would be cool to see a star explode!! And I also had no idea that it took all that stuff to form a planet!! And that long either!! How long is a light year.
to make a star you need large dollops of hydrogen and helium gas. they were made in the big bang and they were the two biggest elements in the universe! Then you need some dust and other elements like silicon,oxygen,carbon,magnesium,andiron. all of these elements are in the heart of the star then it forms a cloud that can span over a hunderd lightyears. then the core colapses and it spins faster and faster untill its like a pancake.then the gas goes towards the core and it makes a nuclear fusion and a new star is born.
I think that that is really cool how they describe how to make the planets. I wonder how they figured out all that information, it must have took a while. I also aggree with Drew i never knew so much went on in space, i thought it was just planets that orbit around the sun
george i am very courious as well as how they know how a star is born because the only real way to see it is by theroy of by a very high powered teliscope.
george i am very courious as well as how they know how a star is born because the only real way to see it is by theroy of by a very high powered teliscope. Adam Lyons
I didnt know that it could take over hundred light years to form a star.Also I think that it is cool that stars can be formed because of gravity.I think it would be very cool to see a star to explode.
I never knew how a star was made. I thought it had something to do with an explosion, I didn't know for sure. I also didn't know how many materials were needed, and that there are gases and dust in space. I would probably pay about 100 bucks to see a star be born. It does interest me, but not by much. Posted by: Sam Tendam
I agree with you, Drew. I never did think that there were so many things needed to make a star. Maybe different stars have different properties because of the area they are located in. I too would pay a decent amount of money to see a star born. Posted by: Sam Tendam
Well, I didn't know that a star was made of hydrogen, helium gas, dust, solid particles made of elements like silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron, which is made of the heart of the star. It all creates a giant cloud. Most of the gravity controlls the clouds shape and a lot more.
I used to think that stars started off as just a mircoscopic dot of light and that they just grew bigger and bigger. I had no clue that they actually had INGREDIENTS! Like Nitrogen and Helium Gas, Silicon, Oxygen, Carbon, Magnesium, and Iron. I think the whole process is very cool. It takes a lot of work to form a star and it's amazing that there are so many that have already formed and they're still forming.
I thought that all the stars and galaxies were caused by the big bang.The big bang is like there was nothing in the universe but space and the suddenly a big red bang exploded and in an instant thousands of stars and galaxies were formed and spread out all over the universe.
I never knew how a star was made. I didn`t know that stars were made up of hydrogen and helium gases I also didn`t know that hey were formed in the big bang, some of the most abundent elements in the universe.Then mixxed in some small grains of dust solid particles made of elements like silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron, which formed the stars.I would pay money to see a star formed. David Meiners
Drew, I agree with you! I had noooooooo clue that it would take that long to make a star. There are so many ingredients involved in making such a small-small as in how we see it from Earth-light in the sky!
I never knew that to form a star you needed hydrogen, helium gas, silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium and iron. I didnt know that it could take over hundred light years to form a star.I Agree with madison,I think it would be cool to see a star form and then die.
I never thought so much could happen in space, it's awesome to think that stars can form by gravity.
To Rachel: I totally agree, I think it would be soo cool to see them explode, I would love to go up in space and see for myself, I think I remember seeing on in a picture and i thought it was pretty amazing.
I didnt know that stars can die out, but it takes very long to make a star. And I think it said that stars can form into planets, never knew that if stars can turn into planets why isnt the sun a planet?
It's interesting how making a star is compared to making a pancake. There is a lot of work involved in making a star. I wonder what happens to the star after it's exploded. Does it turn into something else? It would be interesting to send a space shuttle or something to a star and have it be explored. Maybe in the future we can live on stars and not planets.
I never really knew that, because there can be more stars in the Solar System. Anyway, I would like to see the star up close, but you will never ever get me in a SpaceCraft!!! Finally, I thinkthere should be more stars!!!>>?.
I had no idea that stars had ingredients! I never really thought about how stars were made, I always pictured stars just popping up in the night sky, never once did I really think about the stars ingredients, (silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron). I would love to see s star being made, the whole process and just watching something like that would simply be amazing.
I didn't know it took so muck just to make one star. I though it was intrasting and cool how the star was made of silacone and nitrogen. What I don't under stand why they comepared it to a pancake.When I was little I thought stars were flash lights. Now I know what stars are made of.
That is a very interesting how a star is formed and how long it can last. I never knew that a stars heart is made up of magnessium, iron, carbon, silicon, and oxogen, and there the most abundant elements in the sky. Thats what I find interesting about stars. Alex Richmond
Comenting on Kylie Hayes: I know I never thought of stars being like pancakes? But I dont think anyone will see a sun come because Im sure it will take many years, like thousands or hundreds.
It says that you have to make a pancake, then add hydrogen and helium gass. After that you add small grains like dust and solid particals made of silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron. This combonation formes a gient cloud, and eventually colapses. As it spins it gets pushed togeather it formes a nuclear explosion and formes a star.
that is so cool but im not so sure how it is like a pancake but it is so cool that there is another star in our solar system and that there are so many things that need to be done to make a star!
i think its cool that scientists could see that in space. its really weird how they live for a while, then just die like humans. it makes me wonder, scince the sun is a star, will it possibly die soon??
I agree Drew it's wierd how they compared a star to a pancake. But I also agree with what you said about making a star from silicon to nitorogen and including nucular fusion. I would like to see a star being made. Alex Richmond
I never new stars were made of so many things like Iron magnesium and more. I always thought a star was like the sun just alot smaller. The stars also go through a long process which suprised me, I thought the process was shorter. Ryan Bussard
I think it is amazing how a star is formed. I never knew it took so long for a star to form. I dind't think that it resembled a pancake. I think it's interesting that when the core collapses it spins it goes faster and faster. It's interesting how a star is formed from helium and hydrogen and "dust" such as silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron. It's cool how the gravity overcomes the star's power. I wonder how the sun was formed. The sun is a star...right? Did it begin with the same process? I would love to watch this happen. It would be so cool if we could set a camera up in space and record it happening and the speed it up! That would be AMAZING!
i never really thought it would take so much to make 1 star. im not sure what pancakes have to do with anything but still. i wonder if its possable to make a star on earth.
@ Rachel Royer: I didn't know it took that long to form a star either. I wonder how many stars are "made" everyday? I think it is cool how gravity makes a star.
i did not think that it took that much time to make a star they say it is like a pankake and a making a star form silicone and nitrogen .i never knew there had to be a nuckier fusion .i think it would be fun to see a star bieing made because it would be interesting .
The star prosses is amazing but I wish I could see the whole thing happen quick enough to let me see the prosses in super fast motion. I have heard the prosses of the star befor. You know when a stars life ends when it is a blue dwarf. But the prosses befor that is called the red giant stag. When its at that stage it uses all the gas it has and becomes huge fireball. When the star runs out of gas it shrinks to a dwarf star. This prosses will happen to the sun but in a couple billien years. When it does happen it will turn into a large fireball. Swallowing the 2 closet planets to the sun. It will not swollow Earth but will make it to hot for any life on Earth. When the sun shrink's back its said the planet's won't have any orbit and they would collid.
I never knew that a star was made by hydrogen, helium gas, silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron. Also I never knew that nuclear fusion can be made without humans. I think it would be cool to see a star and die
That is so cool how to make a star, but I do have a few questions about it. How do the scientists know what is needed to make a star in the first place? It really helped how the author of the article used common things that can help me understand it better. It would be amazing to be able to see a star being made.
i agree with drew what does a pancake have to do with it. it would also be cool to see it be born or die.100 light years is long thats how long it takes to make a star. i agree with most of about that you didnt know that so much went on in space just think of the 95 moons and how many moons those moons have. ALOT!!!!!
I never thought the ingredients for a star ether. In fact I didn't even know stars had ingredients. How long do you think it would take to make a star? My guess is more then ten years.
well im not a big fan of how who ever wrote this but it is very interesting, so all i can say is im not eating their cooking lol!! (lame joke, right??)
Stars are the most abundant thing in the universe. Then mix in some small grains of dust solid particles made of elements like silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron. I think stars are really cool even when stars can be a pain sometimes by telling which is O-Rhines belt or the big dipper. I kind of enjoy stars and you should to.
Maybe if we needed a new planet because we messed up ours so badly we could study math and science very carefully and create another star for goldilocks planet so it would be warmer for us to live there.
At Sara Dirr I also think that it is odd how stars can become planets but that the sun isn't a planet. I wonder how that could be. I also wonder how planets arn't stars.
our star if pretty much through have f its life star live for about 8 million years in one life of a star before if gets huge and explodes its so weird how it does that i dont get it but ya know everything happens for a reason
I never would've thought that silicon would go into a star. I always thought stars weren't solid, I thought they were just made of things like hydrogen gas and helium. I wonder how long a star really takes to form?
I never knew that so much work went into making a star from silacone to nitrogen.I think that it is so cool that there had to be nuclear fusion.The only thing I don't know about how it relates to pancakes. I would pay big bucks to a star to be born. Andrew Hudson
hey mrs.martz i never knew so much went into making a star from carbon ,iron, magnessium, oxygen, and a pankace. I think that thats crazy.And i was wondering if some of these things only scientist can get.and it said in the story something about 100 light years.how long is a light year compared to a regular year.and another thing i thought was pretty cool is the sttars have familys.NATHAN stenger
Stars, Sun, Moon, Space..? They confuse me so much! But I want to know where all this stuff comes from and where that stuff comes from to is it gas from the cars and engines evaporates into the sky or something?? How does a star die?? And I think its pretty neat stuff and how people know these things and pass them on so we could know. Jennifer Somtrakool
I agree with you. Seeing a star forming would be amazing. But, like you said, we would never be able to see it from Earth. And I'd imagine that stars would take years to form, not just a few hours.
A star is made by large droplets of hydrogen and helium, small grains of dust, sillyconm, oxygen,hydrogen, magnesium, iron and nuculaer energy. that is how stars are made. nick
i think it is cool how from earth, a stars just look like billions of little white lights in the sky but from space some can be colorful like the one in the picture ir can just look like a cloud of dust!
I thought it was interesting that a star can eventually turn into a planet. I would love to see a star close up and learn more about how they are made, although I'm still not sure how this involves pancakes.
I agree Amber. it is amazing how we see small dots of white light; I think it is because we are so far away we can't see all of the details but i would love to see a star up close.
i didn't know that it took so much just to make one star. the pancake parts kind weird though dont you think? it was really cool just to hear how it forms so enteresting. i love learning about sapace and cannot wait to learn moore. i would love to see it happen i totally agree with rachel!
I never knew that it took that many elements and particals to make a star, and that stars where like pancakes...just joking but you do have to mix the little things before you can actually make the pancake or the star. What I didn't know is that there is oxygen in outer space or maybe it's just not enough to breath.
I agree with kelly, the pancake part was kinda weird but if you think about it or if you've made pancakes before it does make a little sense. I also want to learn more about space and what is really out there.
I didnt get why they used a pancake as a refrence but in some way it made sience.A star is made by a nuculer fusion i didnt know.I would love to see a star both die ane be born I think that would be so cool.
i think when they said pancake they ment it like it has a lot of ingredients just like a pancake does. not a pancake is in a star or made with a star its like a pancake.
i didn't know that the cloud of oxygen, carbon, silicon, iron, and magnesium, that creates a star spans for hundreds of light years i thought that it only spaned for one light year or less. i also didn't know that a star starts out looking like a pancake i thought it was always a sphere and it got bigger and bigger
I had no idea that it took hundred light years to make a star.Also that gravity forms the stars.Its cool how a star turns into a black hole when it dies. Jordan harbour
to the person who wrote on october 6,2010 at 8:31am shoting stars aren't acutaly stars exploding the are comets and things burning up as they enter the earths atmosphere
i knew stars lived and died and everything but what i didnt know was HOW a star is made (i wonder if martha stewart could whip up a batch). It was a good comparison, pancakes and stars, i wonder if earth happened because of a star.i think all thses comparisons helped me understand things better.Isnt it called a supernova when a star explodes? Well all this talk about pancakes has me hungry, ihop anyone?
I find it rather amazing that a star is born like humans are born. To make a star you start with big dollops of helium and hydrogeon gas. They were formed in the big bang, then you need some dust which are made up of particles of silicon or oxygen, magnesium and iron. The mixture from this giant cloud can span to 100 lightyears. Its dense core begins to collapse. Then a little latter as it collapses it orms a thin disk. When the disk funnels most of its gas to the core when the core gets hot enough a new star is born. That entire proccess is very confusing.
@Drew, I think they were just trying to make a point, I mean pancakes does have nothing to do with starts but they do kinda start out the same way if you know what I mean, ahha.
I agree with drew, i did not know it took that much to make a star especially having to have a nucealu fusion. I find that very interesting. Also Sean I did know Red giants did make black holes but i do not know what a super nova is.
I also think it would be amazing to see a star form and die. Since it takes so long to form a star, how long do you think a star's life is? My guess is much more than 10 million light years.
to make a star first combine large dollops of hydrogen and helium gas. then mix in some small grains of "dust" -- solid particles made of elements like silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron, which were forged in the hearts of stars. soon the will form a star. Star are like humans they live forever. some star will explode. Every time i lokn at the star some are shining one minute then they aren't lit the next weird right
Now iknow hoqw to make a star hahaha i like when it says you need to make a pancake at first i thought it meant a real pancake well stars are so beatiful.
@Deborah Park: They are comparing it a pancake probably because that is the easiest thing to compare it to. Just like pancakes, stars are created by mixing stuff together. And while there may not be wind in space, there is wind on the planets. There's wind on Earth isn't there? And where does that wind come from? There are even natural forms of weather and stuff on other planets in space. Tornados, dust storms, rain, thunder storms...
Well, I didn't know that a star was made of hydrogen, helium gas, dust, solid particles made of elements like silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron, which is made of the heart of the star, it was so COOLIO and I just want to watch someone make a star. It all creates a Hugger cloud than you can ever imagine. Most of the gravity controls the clouds shape and lots, lots, lot's more!!!!

i never know that a star had diffrent forms of becoming a star first the star draws in some gas and dust and larger partcal and after a wile it forms a star

I actaully knew how they have formed and they can cause Super Nova's but what I didn't know is that the residue from the star forms planets! These stars must have needed a TON of leftovers to cause a planet. But there was something the article didn't point out, Super Novas are narrowly missing earth every time. Once a nova hits us, we all go up in a bang.
I agree with Drew what does a star have to do with a pancake
I think it would be very cool to be able to see a star born or a star die because of what you would see from the images on the link. I thinkit would also be cool to see a sta die becausethe create black holes and in the future we could maybe we could put a prob into a black hole to see where they lead to.
yes tony i agree with you how most people would think it would just turn into a black hole but it dosent it just explodes
wow that crazy how it takes so many element to make a star and how its just a big explosion.I would love to see that happen.
Vaive, nuclear fission happens in power plants every day from splicing Uranium Fuel Rods. Also the pancake term is just to ive you a general idea of the shape, plus it was in cook book form so it was strangely appropriate.
I didnt know that it could take over hundred light years to form a star.Also I didnt know that to form a star you need hydrogen,helium gas,silicon,oxygen,carbon,iron and madnesium.Also I think that it is cool that stars can be formed because of gravity.I think it would be very cool to see a star to explode.I agree with Tony that after a star dies in trns into a blackhole.
Actually some stars CAN cause black holes, if they are RED GIANTS, Vaive, but it is mostly SUPER NOVAS
i never thought of it that way, making a pancake compared to making a star hydrogen, helium, silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron. That is a lot of pancake ingredients. The core has to be spinning fast when the core collapses, causse i skate sometimes and i go really fast when i pull in my arms so compoaring that to somthing as big as the sun would have to be pretty fast. I think that is cool how the gas and dust keep funneling into the coe until it ghets hot and ignites a nuclear fusion.
Ethan Merucrio
I didn`t know so many thing's went into making a star. And a star's resido forms planets. I think it would be cool to see a star form and then die.
To Sean:
I agree with you that I didnt know that residue from the stars could form planets.Do you think that is how Earth was made and the other planets?Also how long do you think for the sun to form since its a huge star???
At Drew
It has to do with a pacake cause there is so much going into it to make it happen.
Ethan Merucrio
I agree with anthony I thought when a star exploded it would make a black hole in space.
i think that this was really interesting because iam interested in stars and space i think that, that was really cool how they compared stars and pancakes and the big bang i'd like to hear more about that. david holbrook
How long do you think took the sun to form sice its the biggest star in our solar system???
I didnt Know that stars had many agreedants in its heart its cool that a star could be born. but its sad when one dies.
Tony i totally agree with you i always thought that stars would end up turning into black holes too.
Ethan Mercurio
VELASQUEZ YAHANZ i didnt know you had to first make a starter disk to make a star form when some of the disk unites in nucular fusion and makes another star. it would be very nice to see that happen, though you might get thrown into the star when the disk pulls.
VELASQUEZ YAHANZ
Why are they comparing stars to pancakes?...and i always wonder that if stars are reborn how they are always in the same place as the night before when it wasnt a new star yet. In the post where it says "Winds and radiation from the young star then blow away much of the remaining gas and dust around it" I thought there wasnt any wind in outter space and where does the remainding gas and dust go?
that was mine by ted young
I never knew that to form a star you needed hydrogen, helium gas, silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium and iron. That is alot of ingrediants! I think it would be really neat to see a star form. That would be amazing! I also never knew gravity could form a star. I never knew how a star was formed.
"The disk funnels much of it's gas and dust toward the core. When the core gets hot enough, it ignites nuclear fusion-and a new star is born."
never mind but i didnt no that a star had a heart but it is cool that one is born. by ted young
that is cool i never new how to make a star and i never new that a star dies into a black hole well i new they died but didnt no about the black hole
I agree with you Alex.. I think it would be very cool to be able to see a star born or a star die. Mainly if when it dies since the star could form a blac hole.
Deborah,
I was also wondering why they were comparing stars to pancakes I thought that was really weird.
Rachel, The sun is a star but i wonder why it never reborns like all the other stars
i agree with kaleb it does take a lot to make a star
i never thought of making a star as making a pancake, thats pretty weird. and they put a lot into it like hydrogen, helium, silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron, they even put dust in it.
thats a lot of things to put in a pancake.
Rachel, I never knew it took over 100light years to form a star. Thats alot of time, I wonder how many stars we have in our solar system?
I didnt know that it took that much time. I was surprised how many ingrediants went in to it from solids to gases. A pancake?
Deborah.. I was also wondering why they compared the star to a pancake. I think its just saying how when the star forms it looks like a pancake. And Rachel i was wondering that too. How long does it take all the huge starts to form?
I never knew that stars were made of so much, first hydrogen and helium droplets, then solid particles of silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium and iron. It's really cool how they compared a star being formed to a pancake being made, it really helped with the understanding. It doesnt seem that long for a star to be made, because there always seems to be tons of stars in the sky. I didn't know the 'lumps' of the stars actually form planets. It's really cool! I never thought stars can relate to pancakes, people and skaters so much. I would like to study stars more after reading how interesting it is to learn how a star is born.
I never knew a star was made by mixing Hydrogen, helium gas, silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium and iron.And how it spins and soon ignites nuclear fushion, which forms a a star.I thought it would be a shorter processes than this. I also was surprised how the remaning gas and dust can clump together which could coagulate to form a planet. I always thought planets were formed from like big rocks floating through space impacting on one another.
I am wondering the same as Sydney and Rachel, does it take longer for a larger star to form? Or are all stars the same size?
I never knew that a planet was formed by all that, and I definetly would not have related it to a pancake...? And it says that a giant cloud can take over a 100 light years to form... that's a long time!!!! I have never noticed how long it takes to make a planet.... I always thought that p,anets were formed in like 10 years max by big meteors colliding. Does anybody know how long a light year is???
Stars are made up of many different ingredients. They have large amounts of heliunm gas and hydrogen. these are the most abundant elemnts in the universe. they arealso made up of iron, magnesium, barbon, oxygen, and silicon. they can last over 100 light years. after a whilethe star starts collapse. when it collapses it spins. when it spins it forms into a flat disk. When it gets very hot it ignites nuclear fusion and it becomes another star. When the dust from the other star comes together it sometimes forms a planet. We don't know how but we are curious to find out.
I agree with Brendan, it would be awesome and interesting to watch a star form, and form planets, then die. Even though it would take a long time for it to be born and die.
I agree with Kaleb because there are so many things that have tohappen to form a star and Ithink it's really cool that stars are made up of so many elents like iron and magnesium.
@ sydney, I was thinking around the same process, that planets were formed by big rocks/meteors colliding...? but it is definetly nice to know that this is how they are formed...
commenting on drew vaive. it would be cool to see a star being born. it seems awesome. i hope i get to see it some day.
I think the sun is alot older than anything in the milkey way galaxe. It would probly be trilions of years old Rachel
Rachell, I agree with you that it would be cool to see a star explode!! And I also had no idea that it took all that stuff to form a planet!! And that long either!! How long is a light year.
to make a star you need large dollops of hydrogen and helium gas. they were made in the big bang and they were the two biggest elements in the universe! Then you need some dust and other elements like silicon,oxygen,carbon,magnesium,andiron. all of these elements are in the heart of the star then it forms a cloud that can span over a hunderd lightyears. then the core colapses and it spins faster and faster untill its like a pancake.then the gas goes towards the core and it makes a nuclear fusion and a new star is born.
Adam Lyons
I think that that is really cool how they describe how to make the planets. I wonder how they figured out all that information, it must have took a while. I also aggree with Drew i never knew so much went on in space, i thought it was just planets that orbit around the sun
george i am very courious as well as how they know how a star is born because the only real way to see it is by theroy of by a very high powered teliscope.
george i am very courious as well as how they know how a star is born because the only real way to see it is by theroy of by a very high powered teliscope.
Adam Lyons
I didnt know that it could take over hundred light years to form a star.Also I think that it is cool that stars can be formed because of gravity.I think it would be very cool to see a star to explode.
Wait i forgot to put that i would agree with Rachel that it would be cool to see a star explode.
I never knew how a star was made. I thought it had something to do with an explosion, I didn't know for sure. I also didn't know how many materials were needed, and that there are gases and dust in space. I would probably pay about 100 bucks to see a star be born. It does interest me, but not by much.
Posted by: Sam Tendam
I also agree with Drew I never knew so much went on in space, I thought it was just planets that orbit around the sun as well as Abby did.
I agree with you, Drew. I never did think that there were so many things needed to make a star. Maybe different stars have different properties because of the area they are located in. I too would pay a decent amount of money to see a star born.
Posted by: Sam Tendam
Well, I didn't know that a star was made of hydrogen, helium gas, dust, solid particles made of elements like silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron, which is made of the heart of the star. It all creates a giant cloud. Most of the gravity controlls the clouds shape and a lot more.
I used to think that stars started off as just a mircoscopic dot of light and that they just grew bigger and bigger. I had no clue that they actually had INGREDIENTS! Like Nitrogen and Helium Gas, Silicon, Oxygen, Carbon, Magnesium, and Iron. I think the whole process is very cool. It takes a lot of work to form a star and it's amazing that there are so many that have already formed and they're still forming.
I thought that all the stars and galaxies were caused by the big bang.The big bang is like there was nothing in the universe but space and the suddenly a big red bang exploded and in an instant thousands of stars and galaxies were formed and spread out all over the universe.
I never knew how a star was made. I didn`t know that stars were made up of hydrogen and helium gases I also didn`t know that hey were formed in the big bang, some of the most abundent elements in the universe.Then mixxed in some small grains of dust solid particles made of elements like silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron, which formed the stars.I would pay money to see a star formed.
David Meiners
Drew, I agree with you! I had noooooooo clue that it would take that long to make a star. There are so many ingredients involved in making such a small-small as in how we see it from Earth-light in the sky!
Me to Drew I would pay alot of money to see a star formed. It would be cool to see all the gases come togeither.
David Meiners
I never knew that to form a star you needed hydrogen, helium gas, silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium and iron. I didnt know that it could take over hundred light years to form a star.I Agree with madison,I think it would be cool to see a star form and then die.
Kailey Carter
I never thought so much could happen in space, it's awesome to think that stars can form by gravity.
To Rachel:
I totally agree, I think it would be soo cool to see them explode, I would love to go up in space and see for myself, I think I remember seeing on in a picture and i thought it was pretty amazing.
-Corissa Sturm,(:
I also never thought that all that stuff life hydrogen, helium, dust silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnisium, and iron is amazing.
i never knew so much went into making a star like hydrogen and helium gas. silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron
This mixture forms a giant cloud, which can span up to a hundred lightyears or more
i agree with you drew i never knew so much went into it
I never knew that the creation of stars can take up about one hundred light years or more.
I didnt know that stars can die out, but it takes very long to make a star. And I think it said that stars can form into planets, never knew that if stars can turn into planets why isnt the sun a planet?
It's interesting how making a star is compared to making a pancake. There is a lot of work involved in making a star. I wonder what happens to the star after it's exploded. Does it turn into something else? It would be interesting to send a space shuttle or something to a star and have it be explored. Maybe in the future we can live on stars and not planets.
I never really knew that, because there can be more stars in the Solar System. Anyway, I would like to see the star up close, but you will never ever get me in a SpaceCraft!!! Finally, I thinkthere should be more stars!!!>>?.
I agree with Alex Riechling. I actually think it would be cool to go up in Space and see the star up close!!!!!!
I had no idea that stars had ingredients! I never really thought about how stars were made, I always pictured stars just popping up in the night sky, never once did I really think about the stars ingredients, (silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron). I would love to see s star being made, the whole process and just watching something like that would simply be amazing.
I didn't know it took so muck just to make one star. I though it was intrasting and cool how the star was made of silacone and nitrogen. What I don't under stand why they comepared it to a pancake.When I was little I thought stars were flash lights. Now I know what stars are made of.
made by:Gillian Melugin
That is a very interesting how a star is formed and how long it can last. I never knew that a stars heart is made up of magnessium, iron, carbon, silicon, and oxogen, and there the most abundant elements in the sky. Thats what I find interesting about stars.
Alex Richmond
I never knew how a star was made but now I know. I cant imagine how hard it is. I would like to see it happen.
~Charlie Freudemann~
Comenting on Kylie Hayes:
I know I never thought of stars being like pancakes? But I dont think anyone will see a sun come because Im sure it will take many years, like thousands or hundreds.
It says that you have to make a pancake, then add hydrogen and helium gass. After that you add small grains like dust and solid particals made of silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron. This combonation formes a gient cloud, and eventually colapses. As it spins it gets pushed togeather it formes a nuclear explosion and formes a star.
that is so cool but im not so sure how it is like a pancake but it is so cool that there is another star in our solar system and that there are so many things that need to be done to make a star!
-Dylan Humbert
Commenting on Sara Dirr:
I didn't know that stars could turn into planets.. That's so cool!
Emily Heckman
i think its cool that scientists could see that in space. its really weird how they live for a while, then just die like humans. it makes me wonder, scince the sun is a star, will it possibly die soon??
I agree Drew it's wierd how they compared a star to a pancake. But I also agree with what you said about making a star from silicon to nitorogen and including nucular fusion. I would like to see a star being made.
Alex Richmond
i never knew you could make a star with all of that stuff.i would probably blow somthing up if i got to mess with those things.
I have know clue what a star has to do with a pancake. Also I never knew that it took that long to form a star.
I never new stars were made of so many things like Iron magnesium and more. I always thought a star was like the sun just alot smaller. The stars also go through a long process which suprised me, I thought the process was shorter.
Ryan Bussard
I think it is amazing how a star is formed. I never knew it took so long for a star to form. I dind't think that it resembled a pancake. I think it's interesting that when the core collapses it spins it goes faster and faster. It's interesting how a star is formed from helium and hydrogen and "dust" such as silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron. It's cool how the gravity overcomes the star's power. I wonder how the sun was formed. The sun is a star...right? Did it begin with the same process? I would love to watch this happen. It would be so cool if we could set a camera up in space and record it happening and the speed it up! That would be AMAZING!
i did not no that it takes that much just to make a star. it would be cool if scientists could make a mini star that thay could have on earth.
~Daniel O'Hearn~
i never really thought it would take so much to make 1 star. im not sure what pancakes have to do with anything but still. i wonder if its possable to make a star on earth.
@ Rachel Royer:
I didn't know it took that long to form a star either. I wonder how many stars are "made" everyday? I think it is cool how gravity makes a star.
Im with drew vaive i had no idea that there had to be a nuclear fusion to make a star. I cant wait to learn more about space.
Im with drew vaive i had no idea that there had to be a nuclear fusion to make a star. I cant wait to learn more about space.
i agree with rachel, it wou;ld be really cool to see a star explode.
i wonder how shooting star starts.
i agree with rachel, it wou;ld be really cool to see a star explode.
i wonder how shooting star starts.
~Daniel O'Hearn~
I didnt know a nuclear fusion was needed to create a star.
thats a lot of energy!
Commenting on drew. It islike a pancake because the disc is so flat
~Charlie freudemann~
I AGREE WITH THIS STARS ARE LIKE HUMANS EXCEPT stars live longer then humans
I knew that the making of a star would be a short process, like 1-2 million years, but I didn't it used nitrogen and hydrogen to actually make a star.
@Xaiver
That is probely why stars also explode from nuclear power.
Thats amazing of that process on how a star is made and i like how they compared it to a pancake.
alot goes into making a star. and i didnt know that you use a pankake to make one.i wonder if it could be dangerous making a star.Nathan stenger
i did not think that it took that much time to make a star they say it is like a pankake and a making a star form silicone and nitrogen .i never knew there had to be a nuckier fusion .i think it would be fun to see a star bieing made because it would be interesting .
The star prosses is amazing but I wish I could see the whole thing happen quick enough to let me see the prosses in super fast motion. I have heard the prosses of the star befor. You know when a stars life ends when it is a blue dwarf. But the prosses befor that is called the red giant stag. When its at that stage it uses all the gas it has and becomes huge fireball. When the star runs out of gas it shrinks to a dwarf star. This prosses will happen to the sun but in a couple billien years. When it does happen it will turn into a large fireball. Swallowing the 2 closet planets to the sun. It will not swollow Earth but will make it to hot for any life on Earth. When the sun shrink's back its said the planet's won't have any orbit and they would collid.
I never knew that a star was made by hydrogen, helium gas, silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron. Also I never knew that nuclear fusion can be made without humans. I think it would be cool to see a star and die
I kinda knew that is what happened, but not comletley. I had no clue that there were so many proccesses that went in to it.
Nathan, I don't think they actually meant pancakes, I think it was a comparrison.
Wow i cant believe how many steps there are. I wonder how long this process takes. Nuclear fusion i wonder what that is.
That is so cool how to make a star, but I do have a few questions about it. How do the scientists know what is needed to make a star in the first place? It really helped how the author of the article used common things that can help me understand it better. It would be amazing to be able to see a star being made.
-Kaleigh McCarthy
i agree with drew what does a pancake have to do with it. it would also be cool to see it be born or die.100 light years is long thats how long it takes to make a star. i agree with most of about that you didnt know that so much went on in space just think of the 95 moons and how many moons those moons have. ALOT!!!!!
I think that is pretty cool to now know how a star is made or born and i never knew that a star could die.
for drew and elizabeth just think of the 95 moons and how many moons they have and all the other things in space like asroids.
At Sara Dirr
I didn't even catch that it said that the stars could turn into planets. That would be awesome the solar system would have much more planets.
To: Kylie Hayes
I never thought the ingredients for a star ether. In fact I didn't even know stars had ingredients. How long do you think it would take to make a star? My guess is more then ten years.
-Kaleigh McCarthy
well im not a big fan of how who ever wrote this but it is very interesting, so all i can say is im not eating their cooking lol!! (lame joke, right??)
i did not know that u could use elements like silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron and large dollops of hydrogen and helium gas to make a star
by Luke Brockman
I think that the process weird how stars are made. There is so much that I wonder if the process doesn't always complete and what it turns into.
Stars are the most abundant thing in the universe. Then mix in some small grains of dust solid particles made of elements like silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron. I think stars are really cool even when stars can be a pain sometimes by telling which is O-Rhines belt or the big dipper. I kind of enjoy stars and you should to.
Maybe if we needed a new planet because we messed up ours so badly we could study math and science very carefully and create another star for goldilocks planet so it would be warmer for us to live there.
I like Drew's post again wow this kid can blog ! Yes you can but, the real thing is he gives good information on science relative things.
At Sara Dirr
I also think that it is odd how stars can become planets but that the sun isn't a planet. I wonder how that could be. I also wonder how planets arn't stars.
our star if pretty much through have f its life star live for about 8 million years in one life of a star before if gets huge and explodes its so weird how it does that i dont get it but ya know everything happens for a reason
austin pappy
I never would've thought that silicon would go into a star. I always thought stars weren't solid, I thought they were just made of things like hydrogen gas and helium. I wonder how long a star really takes to form?
I never knew that so much work went into making a star from silacone to nitrogen.I think that it is so cool that there had to be nuclear fusion.The only thing I don't know about how it relates to pancakes. I would pay big bucks to
a star to be born.
Andrew Hudson
hey mrs.martz i never knew so much went into making a star from carbon ,iron, magnessium, oxygen, and a pankace. I think that thats crazy.And i was wondering if some of these things only scientist can get.and it said in the story something about 100 light years.how long is a light year compared to a regular year.and another thing i thought was pretty cool is the sttars have familys.NATHAN stenger
Stars, Sun, Moon, Space..? They confuse me so much! But I want to know where all this stuff comes from and where that stuff comes from to is it gas from the cars and engines evaporates into the sky or something?? How does a star die?? And I think its pretty neat stuff and how people know these things and pass them on so we could know.
Jennifer Somtrakool
To Drew:
I agree with you. Seeing a star forming would be amazing. But, like you said, we would never be able to see it from Earth. And I'd imagine that stars would take years to form, not just a few hours.
To Aaron Bettner
Nuclear fusion is like nuclear energy. It would be nice to learn how long it takes to make a star.
A star is made by large droplets of hydrogen and helium, small grains of dust, sillyconm, oxygen,hydrogen, magnesium, iron and nuculaer energy. that is how stars are made.
nick
wow that is so cool. i did not no that you could make a star just like that yesterday night i saw so many stars outside.
kristan dalton
I agree with drew. I knew thaat some stuff went in but i never new that some maney items from the periodic table went into making a star.
nick aichele
I agree with Drew. I would pay big bucks to see a star being made.
Andrew Hudson
i think it is cool how from earth, a stars just look like billions of little white lights in the sky but from space some can be colorful like the one in the picture ir can just look like a cloud of dust!
i did not know that either tony!!! i did not know that a star aws made by blowing up!! thats cool!!
that is weard shane that nuclear fusion has to happen to make a star!!
I thought it was interesting that a star can eventually turn into a planet. I would love to see a star close up and learn more about how they are made, although I'm still not sure how this involves pancakes.
I agree Amber. it is amazing how we see small dots of white light; I think it is because we are so far away we can't see all of the details but i would love to see a star up close.
i didn't know that it took so much just to make one star. the pancake parts kind weird though dont you think? it was really cool just to hear how it forms so enteresting. i love learning about sapace and cannot wait to learn moore. i would love to see it happen i totally agree with rachel!
kelly rogers
I never knew that it took that many elements and particals to make a star, and that stars where like pancakes...just joking but you do have to mix the little things before you can actually make the pancake or the star. What I didn't know is that there is oxygen in outer space or maybe it's just not enough to breath.
I agree with kelly, the pancake part was kinda weird but if you think about it or if you've made pancakes before it does make a little sense. I also want to learn more about space and what is really out there.
CALEB!!!!!!!! That would be soooo cool if we could make stars on earth! Although, aren't they big?? Because then there wouldn't be enough room...?
Yum Now I Want Some Pancaks:) I Never Knew That You Could Make Your Own Star. That Sounds Like Fun
Drew... I Agree I Never Knew That A Star Would Have To Do Anything With A Pancake:)
awh man now i want a pancake
i didnt know that a star was nuckear....i thought it was just a bog ball of light
but i have to ask,what is the big bang therory
?
I didnt get why they used a pancake as a refrence but in some way it made sience.A star is made by a nuculer fusion i didnt know.I would love to see a star both die ane be born I think that would be so cool.
but yeah i agree with drew....
what does a pancake have to do with a star.
they are nothing like a star! :)
i ment nuclear not nuckear
sorry finger slipped
I agree with drew I dont get why they used a pancake in the paragraph it doesnt make any seince
to gillan:
i think when they said pancake they ment it like it has a lot of ingredients just like a pancake does. not a pancake is in a star or made with a star its like a pancake.
kelly rogers
i didn't know that the cloud of oxygen, carbon, silicon, iron, and magnesium, that creates a star spans for hundreds of light years i thought that it only spaned for one light year or less. i also didn't know that a star starts out looking like a pancake i thought it was always a sphere and it got bigger and bigger
candi sheehan wrote the last one
I had no idea that it took hundred light years to make a star.Also that gravity forms the stars.Its cool how a star turns into a black hole when it dies. Jordan harbour

@ royor rachel:
well in a loooong while our sun will get even bigger and turn into a Red Giant.
I disagree with you drew I think we could see it depending on how close the star is
Ryan Bussard
i knew stars lived and died and everything but what i didnt know was HOW a star is made (i wonder if martha stewart could whip up a batch). It was a good comparison, pancakes and stars, i wonder if earth happened because of a star.i think all thses comparisons helped me understand things better.Isnt it called a supernova when a star explodes? Well all this talk about pancakes has me hungry, ihop anyone?
I find it rather amazing that a star is born like humans are born.
To make a star you start with big dollops of helium and hydrogeon gas. They were formed in the big bang, then you need some dust which are made up of particles of silicon or oxygen, magnesium and iron. The mixture from this giant cloud can span to 100 lightyears. Its dense core begins to collapse. Then a little latter as it collapses it orms a thin disk. When the disk funnels most of its gas to the core when the core gets hot enough a new star is born. That entire proccess is very confusing.
- Michael Van Schoik
@Drew, I think they were just trying to make a point, I mean pancakes does have nothing to do with starts but they do kinda start out the same way if you know what I mean, ahha.
-Corissa Sturm,(:
I agree with drew, i did not know it took that much to make a star especially having to have a nucealu fusion. I find that very interesting. Also Sean I did know Red giants did make black holes but i do not know what a super nova is.
- Michael Van Schoik
To Kailey Carter:
I also think it would be amazing to see a star form and die. Since it takes so long to form a star, how long do you think a star's life is? My guess is much more than 10 million light years.

I agree who wouldn't want to watch a star being made in the process.

-Dylan Humbert
to make a star first combine large dollops of hydrogen and helium gas. then mix in some small grains of "dust" -- solid particles made of elements like silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron, which were forged in the hearts of stars. soon the will form a star. Star are like humans they live forever. some star will explode. Every time i lokn at the star some are shining one minute then they aren't lit the next weird right
i dident know thata it took so much to make a star and stars arent like pancakes
I agree with Kaleb Quinlan, that is alot of things to happen to make a star. I also can't belive that it takes so many years for that to happen.
Now iknow hoqw to make a star hahaha i like when it says you need to make a pancake at first i thought it meant a real pancake well stars are so beatiful.
~Kristin Murphy(:
@Deborah Park: They are comparing it a pancake probably because that is the easiest thing to compare it to. Just like pancakes, stars are created by mixing stuff together. And while there may not be wind in space, there is wind on the planets. There's wind on Earth isn't there? And where does that wind come from? There are even natural forms of weather and stuff on other planets in space. Tornados, dust storms, rain, thunder storms...
i agree with kaleigh because i think it is cool how stars were made.
Well, I didn't know that a star was made of hydrogen, helium gas, dust, solid particles made of elements like silicon, oxygen, carbon, magnesium, and iron, which is made of the heart of the star, it was so COOLIO and I just want to watch someone make a star. It all creates a Hugger cloud than you can ever imagine. Most of the gravity controls the clouds shape and lots, lots, lot's more!!!!

Kristen I agree with you that it was funny when they said we first needed a pankake to make our stars!!!
Hahahahahaha!!!! Lol!!!
