Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces(熔炉) that burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the

35、 fuel is used up, the star begins to die. The death of a star is not a quiet event. First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns. After the explosion, gravity pulls in whats left of the star. As the outside of the

36、star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and smaller. The material the star is made of becomes tightly packed together. A star is so solid that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billion of pounds. The more the star shrinks(收缩), the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star i

41、are a mystery-but that hasnt stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes.
