Lives of Other Stars II

        I went on my evening walk and re-listened to “Live of Other Stars” Podcast. I was especially interested in Mass Loss of stars and one class of star, the Wolf-Rayet, have over 20 solar masses, are very hot, and their stellar winds exceed of 1000 MPH which eject a lot of matter giving it a high rate of Mass Loss. If you remember that large stars, with over five solar masses, Mass Loss plays an important role in determining if the star will become a Neutron star, a Black Hole, or even (some believe) a white dwarf. So there is more to this transition to a Neutron star, a Black Hole, or a white dwarf than I was led to believe. And it isn’t set in stone depending on just how massive a star is.
