Fundamentals Of Astronomy Part 7: Classification of the Stars

#1 · June 10, 2025, 3:06 pm

In this article, we will take a look at how astronomers classify and categorize the stars. Understanding how, and why this classification was developed is instrumental in our understanding of stellar evolution. These methods can significantly enhance one's appreciation of the wonders of the universe.

I hope you find some value in it.

Remember, the universe is yours to explore; let’s explore it together.
