Strange Stars
This adventure is a look at Strange Stars, they are not made up of Strange particles but rather regular atoms.
Strange Stars pulsate, change shape, join together or blow apart. Some of them are hot, some are cold. Luckily, our Sun is stable, if it wasn't, then we would be very, very dead.
There are many Strange Star types, so let's list some of them: Blue giants, Contact binaries, Variables and demons, Brown dwarfs, pulsating stars, Carbon stars and Distorted stars. Now that I have laid the foundations. Let's build up from them.
Blue giants are 1000 times larger than our Sun as a small star, but they don't destroy themselves. The distinct blue colour is a result of the atmosphere around it flooding into it and causing it to turn Sun and Blue and emitting deadly radiation.
Contact binaries are pairs of stars that orbit each other, they are very common.
Variables and Demons are the brightness that is associated with a star. They usually fluctuate in brightness, and the dimmer ones are called Algols, which means demon in Arabic.
Brown dwarfs are dim stars that are heavier than planets but lighter than true stars. They are usually 20 to 80 times the mass of Jupiter but around the same size as Jupiter.
A pulsating star is a star that changes in brightness and size. It is hottest and brightest when it is at its smallest. It is dimest and coldest when it is at its biggest. These fluctuations take several hours or a few years they are all unique.
Carbon stars are red stars that have an atmosphere rich in carbon, which condenses and forms sooty clouds. They usually filter light from their parent star, making them glow a deeper red.
Distorted stars are stars, but they are not circular. Mirs is a distorted star, and it either changes shape as it pulsates, or its surface is too dark to see.
