2. Explain how the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is constructed of the four main groupings of stars. Identify characteristics of the four main groupings of stars on the diagram.
3.”A Star is Born!” In a step-by-step fashion, reconstruct the birth of a star. In your answer, include interstellar medium, protostar, and how stellar equilibrium is finally reached.
4. “A Star Dies!” Using the same technique you applied in question 2 above, trace the elements in the demise of stars of low stellar mass, those of medium stellar mass, and those that are very massive.
