Red Dwarfs star - Mystery Of galaxy

 Red Dwarfs Stars come in a wide range of masses and sizes. Some are stellar behemoths up to 300 times the mass of our Sun. Others are similar in mass to our Sun and represent our stellar cousins. But the lowest mass stars are the red dwarfs . They're small, dim, and slow-burning. Their lifespans are so long that they will be the last stars ever to shine in our universe, and will be the place where life will make its final stand. Red Dwarfs Source: ESA/Hubble / CC Welcome back to my blog " Mystery of Galaxy " and in this article we're going to learn about the smallest, dimmest stars in the universe, the red dwarfs.  As their name implies, red dwarfs are smaller and cooler than our Sun, shining brightest at infrared wavelengths. They're also much less massive, about 40% the mass of our Sun all the way down to 8%. In fact, the smallest and least massive red dwarfs are barely stars at all; they're just massive enough to sustain hydrogen fusion in the...
