White Dwarfs
All stars become white dwarfs at a certain stage in the lifespan, after the exhaustion of their nuclear fuel. A white dwarf star is characterized by higher density and fainter luminosity than the previous stages. Here is some information about white dwarfs.
Why do Stars have Different Colors
Do stars really have color? If yes, why do they have different colors? Read on to know more.
Life Cycle of a Star
The life cycle of a star begins in a nebula and ends in a black hole. The lifespan of a star depends on its mass. The more massive it is, the shorter it lives. This 'long' and 'short' however, is in millions and billions of years! Now you know how long the life cycle of a star is! Find out more...

The Celestial Lightshow
The stars in the sky seem unexciting to many. Yet the universe contains more than meets the eye, at least the naked eye. A celestial lightshow is taking place about which you may be unaware.
Astrophotography
Photography plays an important role in astronomy. Observational astrology can be carried out at night, which restricts the available time to only 12 hours. So in order to utilize the rest of the day astronomers take photograph of the sky during the day. This may sound a bit professional but it is not so. Amateur can take successful photographs and do the same or keep them as memories.
