Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
I believe I know what you are!
You fuse hydrogen, helium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, nickel, and some more
In your core.
With mass more than a hundred to thousands of times our own.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
You formed from collapsing under your gravity within a molecular cloud
You’re an opaque ball of hot dense gas born from a stellar nebula
You are, so far, a protostar!
For you have yet to reach maturity
As you commence the start of your journey
To become what we know as a black dwarf.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
I know what you are
