"Helping The World DISCOVER THE WAY of LOVE!"
Sun-like star has finished burning its entire necessary supply of hydrogen fuel in the fiery furnace of its core, it starts to approach its inevitable tragic doom. First, the Sunlike-star swells to monstrous proportions and becomes an enormous red giant. When our Sun goes red giant about 5 billion years from now, it will become so bloated that it will first incinerate and consume Mercury, and then proceed to do the same with Venus. Our Earth may be next. As time goes by, our Star will finally become so bloated that it will transform distant denizens of our Solar System's outer limits, such as the ice dwarf Pluto, into balmy tropical havens. However, the end always comes at last, and stars like our Sun eventually hurl off their gaseous outer layers, leaving only sad tattle-tale cores behind as testimony to their former stellar existence.
When our Sun dies, it will leave behind a white dwarf, and its funeral shroud will be a lovely planetary nebula composed of shining, shimmering multicolored gases--which were once its outer gaseous layers. This is the way that small Sun-like stars perish--when they are solitary stars, like our Sun, that is. When the white dwarf dwells in a binary system with another star--either a star that is still on the main-sequence, or with another white dwarf--strange things can happen. Novae should not be confused with other explosive, brightening stellar explosions--such as supernovae or luminous red novae. Novae are believed to ignite on the surface of a white dwarf that dwells in a binary system. If the duo of sister stars are close enough together, material can be sipped up from the companion star's surface to fall down onto the hungry white dwarf. A nova occurs as the result of this accretion of hydrogen onto the surface of the stellar corpse, triggering a runaway nuclear fusion reaction.
If the white dwarf is sufficiently near its unlucky sister star, it will steadily, relentlessly, and mercilessly sip up material from the companion star's outer atmosphere. The sister star may either still be on the main-sequence or, alternatively, aging and in the process of swelling into a red giant. http://mychannelrangerreview.com/channel-ranger-sytem-review/ The stolen gases accumulate on the greedy white dwarf's surface and begin burning. Even though hydrogen fusion can occur in a stable manner on the surface of the white dwarf for a small range of accretion rates, for most binary system parameters the hydrogen burning is thermally unstable. As such, it very speedily converts a large amount of hydrogen into other heavier elements in a runaway reaction--and this liberates a stupendous amount of energy, hurling the remaining gases away from the white dwarf's surface and triggering a brilliant blast of ferocious light.
