  1. The Life of a Star

    Let's follow the life of a star, from its birth to its final days.

  2. The Birth of a Star

    A cloud of gas and dust shrinks under gravity, and its center heats up. Then hydrogen fusion begins, and a star starts to shine.

  3. Main-Sequence Stars

    The pressure of hot gas balances gravity, so the star shines steadily. The Sun's lifespan is about 10 billion years.

  4. Red Giants

    When the hydrogen in its core runs out, the star swells into a red giant.

  5. The End of a Sun-like Star

    In a star like the Sun, the outer gas spreads out as a planetary nebula, and a white dwarf is left at the center.

  6. The End of a Heavy Star

    Heavier stars, over about 8 times the Sun's mass, become red supergiants and explode as supernovae, leaving neutron stars or black holes.

  7. Material for New Stars

    Elements scattered by the explosion become material for new stars and planets.

  8. The Life of a Star

    The heavier the star, the shorter its life. A star's mass greatly shapes its whole life.

Create 3D explainer videos like this sample from your documents and chat

Just attach product documents, drawings, or CAD data and tell the AI in chat what video you want. The AI plans the storyboard, builds the 3D scenes, and turns it into a video with narration and captions. You pay only for what you use (a rough guide is about 3,500 credits for a 1-minute video with 2 small revisions).
