Harrisburg Area Community College Astronomy Discussion
Description
The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is an incredibly useful device for learning about populations of stars. However, sometimes students can get confused by it, thinking that the diagram represents stars moving through space. There are a number of web sites (some with animations) that can help you visualize what the H-R diagram can be used for. Here’s one to get you started:
Your task for this week’s discussion board is to find another site that explains some aspect of the H-R diagram (or, it can just be a site that explains some part of stellar evolution). Post the link. Then, explain something about the H-R diagram and/or stellar evolution that this site helped you learn and/or that you find interesting.
