| | | | | "Billions of years from now our sun, then a distended red giant star, will have reduced Earth to a charred cinder." -Carl Sagan "Bigger mass makes a bigger star," you might be inclined to say. The smallest stars in size should be small because they have the least amount of material in them, while the largest ones of all are the largest because they've got the most material to make stars out of. And that's a tempting explanation, but it doesn't account for either the smallest stars or the largest ones in the Universe. | |
