2) C
1) Process of where two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom to releasing energy
Answers
7) Big ball of gas flowing in space
6) E=mc^2
3) Made of gas and plasma
8)Hydrogen
9) Star starts to burn the denser elements.
10) Helium and others
5) Cosmic energy engines
Fusion
Fusion will power the star for 90% of its lifetime
If a star explode it is a supernova but if they just shed their white dwarf.
If it starts losing it's primary fuel which is hydrogen then the star burns denser elements such as helium.

In this aticle it talks about a star that went supernova, it collapsed into a neutron star. This was the heaviest they’ve ever seen. Neutron star are some of the best astronomical objects. They form under incredible pressure. You'll be able to learn a lot more about this star in the aticle.
Discussion questions
Do you think astronomer enjoy seeing the supernova? (first article)
Why do you believe that neutron star are some of the best astronomical objects? (first article)
How does a light year work? (second article)
I read this article that talks about a signal reaching earth thousands light-years away. After a few days the researchers had determined a second signal was coming from a pulsar; a neutron star emitting a continuous beam of X-rays from its magnetic poles. This star (bizarre bursting pulsar,) shouldn't exist according to conventional theory. This article has so many great information about the new type of star, here is the link to read the full article.
Do you believe in something that is many light years away? Why or why not? (second article)
