ENERGY SOURCE OF THE STARS

 

It would be correct to say that people's greatest joy was watching the stars in the sky thousands of years ago, when there were no buildings and entertainment.

People have considered the views of space scientists, who are real scientists, about the stars, after the astrologers they call scientists. In addition to space scientists belonging to our society such as Ali Kuşcu and Uluğ Bey, space scientists such as Kepler and Galileo lived in western civilization.

Thanks to the studies carried out by astronomers, it was revealed that not all celestial objects in the sky emit light, some of them reflect the rays coming from light sources. It is among the information obtained that there are planets, meteorites, comets, and many different objects, as well as stars that emit energy in space.

Curious scientists have discovered the energy source of the stars in the 20th century, which made the scientific world cheer. While Einstein's thought that the energy released in the disintegration of the matter is too much and that this could be the energy source of the stars, it is among the findings that the matter in the stars does not shatter, but it is mixed. The mixed matter, which we call fusion, occurs in all stars, and stars get their energy from the energy released by the merging atomic nuclei. The matter used in stars is hydrogen, and because of the fusion of hydrogen atoms, helium atoms and a large amount of energy are released. Not only hydrogen, but also carbon atoms in some stars and oxygen atoms in others are fused. Consequently, fusion takes place in all stars.
