Sixth in a series of 6 artist's impressions illustrating the formation of a new star,such as the Sun. After its T Tauri explosion,the new star settles down,fusing hydrogen into helium at a steady rate. Relatively small stars such as the Sun behave in this way,gradually "burning" their hydrogen over billions of years. In this image,the new star is depicted as surrounded by a small retinue of planets | |
