How stars work was a mystery until the early 20th century when astronomers learned to decode stars' spectra. Spectroscopy allowed stars' chemical make-up, temperature, and luminosity to be directly measured. Thanks to a spectral classification system developed by Annie Jump Cannon, and the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, it became possible to understand how stars are classified, and how stars live and evolve from the main sequence to red giant to white dwarfs. 🔔 Subscribe for more: https://www.youtube.com/christianread... 🖖 Share this video with a fellow space traveler:    • How Stars Work   🔴 Watch my most recent upload: https://goo.gl/QbRcE2 🚀 Help me improve the channel by joining the community on Patreon   / launchpadastro   🚀 Check out Launch Pad merchandise! https://teespring.com/stores/launchpa...
