It becomes so hot that it pushes away the outer part of the star. The outer part expands and it makes a <a href="/wiki/Red_giant" title="Red giant">red giant</a> star. <a href="/wiki/Astrophysics" title="Astrophysics">Astrophysicists</a> think that in about 5 billion years, the Sun will be a red giant. Our Sun will be so large it will "eat" the Earth. After our Sun stops using hydrogen to make energy, it will use helium in its very hot core. It will be hotter than when it was fusing hydrogen. Heavy stars will also make elements heavier than helium. As a star makes heavier and heavier elements, it makes less and less energy. <a href="/wiki/Iron" title="Iron">Iron</a> is a heavy element made in heavy stars. </p><p>Our star is an average star. Average stars will push away their outer gases. The gas it pushes away makes a cloud called a <a href="/wiki/Planetary_nebula" title="Planetary nebula">planetary nebula</a>. The core part of the star will remain. It will be a ball as big as the Earth and called a <a href="/wiki/White_dwarf" title="White dwarf">white dwarf</a>. It will fade into a <a href="/wiki/Black_dwarf" title="Black dwarf">black dwarf</a> over a very long time. </p><p>Later in large stars (~ 10 Mʘ), heavier elements are made by fusion. Finally the star makes a <a href="/wiki/Supernova" title="Supernova">supernova</a> explosion. Most things happen in the universe so slowly we do not notice. But supernova explosions happen in only 100 seconds. When a supernova explodes its flash is as bright as a 100 billion stars. The dying star is so bright it can be seen during the day. Supernova means "new star" because people used to think it was the beginning of a new star. Today we know that a supernova is the death of an old star. The gas of the star is pushed away by the explosion. It forms a giant cloud of gas called a <a href="/wiki/Planetary_nebula" title="Planetary nebula">planetary nebula</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Crab_nebula" class="mw-redirect" title="Crab nebula">crab nebula</a> is a good example. All that remains is a <a href="/wiki/Neutron_star" title="Neutron star">neutron star</a>. If the star was very heavy (~ 25 Mʘ), the star will make a <a href="/wiki/Black_hole" title="Black hole">black hole</a>. Gravity in a black hole is extremely strong. It is so strong that even light cannot escape from a black hole. </p><p>The heaviest elements are made in the explosion of a supernova. After billions of years of floating in space, the gas and dust come together to make new stars and new planets. Much of the gas and dust in space comes from supernovae. Our Sun, the Earth, and all living things are made from star dust. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Colors">Colors</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Star&veaction=edit&section=11" title="Change section: Colors" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>change</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Star&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section's source code: Colors"><span>change source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Astronomers have known for centuries that stars have different colors.
