The StarForge cast
Each friend shows you one idea by how they act. Meet them all and see how the ideas fit together.
-
Wick Protostar (collapsing gas, igniting) -
Glow Main-sequence star (hydrogen fusion / stable) -
Swell Red giant (helium fusion / expanded outer layers) -
Pinch Stellar collapse + neutron star / supernova compaction -
Ember White dwarf / stellar remnant (cooling final state) -
Brawn Stellar mass — how heavy a star is at birth decides its whole life story -
Waltz Binary stars — most stars are not alone; they circle a partner in a slow gravitational dance -
Smolder Brown dwarf — a clump of gas too light to ignite; warm and dim, almost-but-not a star -
Quiver Variable stars — stars that pulse brighter and dimmer in a steady, measurable beat -
Flare Stellar flares and starspots — a star's stormy magnetic surface weather
