This educational wall chart explains the nature of stars and their role in the universe, introducing stars as massive luminous spheres of plasma held together by gravity and powered by nuclear fusion. It explains how stars produce energy by converting hydrogen into helium, releasing radiant energy that makes stars visible across vast distances in space.

The wall chart includes detailed sections on different groupings of stars, including an open cluster of stars such as the Pleiades and a local cluster of stars near the Sun. Clear diagrams help learners understand how stars are arranged in space and how astronomers measure distance using light years. Visual examples show our Sun, binary star systems, and the relative positions of nearby stars.

A major section focuses on the classification of main sequence stars, explaining the spectral classes O, B, A, F, G, K, and M. Each class is illustrated with colour, temperature, size, and lifespan information, helping learners compare star types. Additional diagrams compare the sizes of stars, from white dwarfs to red giants and supergiants.

The wall chart also explains the life cycle of a star, showing stages from nebula formation to main sequence stars, giants, supernovae, neutron stars, and black holes. This wall chart also works effectively as a poster for physics, astronomy, and space science education.

Our wallcharts are engineered for durability and educational impact, designed to withstand the rigors of both classroom and home environments.
