Concept in Definition ABC

A star is a mass of matter in the state of plasma (gaseous) and immersed in a continuous process of collapse, in which, in addition, various forces actively participate that will balance this process towards a state Balance that lasts in time.

Meanwhile, it will be from the Energy that dissipate in space, that we can see and observe them at night as luminous, flickering points and sometimes, depending on the closeness between them, until we acquire "personality”And its own entity, a phenomenon known as the gravitational ties of the stars, such is the case of the" Three Marías ", nickname with which the three stars that are always kept together and aligned in the firmament. This image actually corresponds to the appearance they take when viewed from our planet. It is worth noting that these celestial bodies are at unimaginable distances from the Earth. Thus, without including the Sun, the closest and most important of the stars for us, the closest of them in relation to our

Solar system is Alpha Centauri, located about 4 light-years from our planet. This means that the light generated by these stars has traveled through space and took 4 years to reach us. Therefore, every night we are seeing that celestial body as it was 4 years ago, and not as it really is now. Imagine what happens to the many stars that are thousands or even millions of light years away ...

The formation of the stars occurs in the densest regions of molecular clouds in response to gravitational instability that causes a galactic collision. For example, regarding its chemical composition, although it may vary according to the generation to which it belongs, most of the stars are made up of 75% hydrogen, 23% helium and the remaining 2% is completed by heavier elements, residues from other stars that ended their cycle. A question that swarmed for years in humanity is the reason for the luminosity that these show and after several studies it was arrived at the conclusion that what it produces are the nuclear reactions to which they are exposed. The most recognized of these reactions is nuclear fusion, which has not been able to be reproduced in a controlled way by humans to date. This process is characterized by the generation of high aliquots of heat through the transformation of a element (hydrogen) in another (helium) within the framework of an interaction of the particles that make up its nucleus.

All of this that we discussed above regarding the formal and dictionary definition of the term star, put it in some way. However, the term, in modernity, adopted another meaning that has nothing to do with the processes and compositions of the universe, but with a question a little more frivolous, but that is closely related to the image that we all have in our retinas of what a "real star", which is characterized above all by its brilliance in the sky and with regard to the latter, is that the term for designate the most famous and recognized personalities and celebrities in the world of music and from movie theater. For example, a Madonna, a Tom Cruise, a Bruce Willis are stars. Similarly, the large figures of sport they are stars; in fact, that's what the most important soccer players of the past as well as today are called. Even in the context of the NBA, there is a special game called All Star Game, that is, the game of the stars, in which the most brilliant figures of the best basketball in the world.
