Black Hole:End of the line! Your star has

completed its life cycle.

Fun Facts about Black Holes:Fact 1: You can’t directly see a black hole.

Fact 2: Look out! Our Milky Way likely has a black hole

Fact 3: Black holes come in a range of sizes—from the size of an atom to 1 million times larger than the sun

Fact 4: The first black hole wasn’t discovered until X-ray astronomy was used—about 1970.

Fact 5: We aren’t sure if wormholes exist.

Supernova:

Fun Facts about Supernovas:Approximately one supernova occurs every second.

Most chemical elements are made in a supernova

They’re brighter than a galaxy

Not all supernovae destroy stars.

EVEN Go to Neutron Star

Fun Facts about Red Giant Stars

Fact 1:  In only a few billion years, our own sun will turn into a red giant star, expand and engulf the inner planets, possibly even Earth.

Fact 2: Red giant stars reach sizes of 100 million to 1 billion kilometers in diameter 

Fact 3: The red giant phase comes to an end once the core temperature reaches high enough

Red Dwarf

Brown Dwarf

Fun Facts about Red Dwarf Stars

Fact 1: The closest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri, is a red dwarf star

Fact 2: Red Dwarf stars are the most common type of star in the universe

Fact 3: Red Dwarf stars are the most long-lived stars

…Go to White Dwarf. No other option :/

End of the line. You didn’t make it to “star” status.

Fun Facts about Brown Dwarf stars

Fact 1: Some of these weird "failed stars" only get as hot as your kitchen oven

Fact 2: The first brown dwarf to be discovered is Teide 1, located in the Pleiades, which is an open star cluster in the constellation of Taurus. It was verified in 1995 and was estimated to be 120 million years old.

Fact 3: As brown dwarfs do not emit light in the visible spectrum, they are not as bright as stars. They are more likely to be seen with an infrared telescope, which can detect the heat radiated by these objects.

Blue Super Giant

Fun Facts about Blue Super Giants

Fact 1: The lifespan of a blue supergiant star can be up to 10 million years.

Fact 2: Blue supergiant stars are known for the fast stellar winds which blow on their surfaces. However, these winds, although fast, occur sparsely.

Fact 3: Despite their rarity and their short lives blue supergiant stars are heavily represented among the stars visible to the naked eye; their inherent brightness trumps their scarcity.

Planetary Nebula

Fun Facts about Planetary Nebula

Fact 1: Small-to-medium sized stars, such as our Sun, form these stunning nebulae at the end of their stellar lifetime when they have exhausted their nuclear fuel..

Fact 2: These nebulae survive for 25,000 to 100,000 years, a short life by astronomical standards, and expand at approximately 10 miles (16 kilometers) per second.

…Go to White Dwarf. That’s the only option :/

Fact 1: Their gravity is 350,000x Earth’s.

Fact 2: A teaspoon of white dwarf matter weighs 5.5 tons

Fact 3: White dwarfs are among the oldest objects in known universe since they are the end point of life of the life cycles of most stars

Fun Facts about Neutron Stars

Fact 1: Take twice the mass of the Sun and compact it into the size of Los Angeles, and that’s roughly how dense a neutron star is.

Fact 2: They are so dense that a single teaspoon would weigh a billion tons

Fact 3: These stars gradually slow down over the eons, but those bodies that are still spinning rapidly may emit radiation that from Earth appears to blink on and off as the star spins, like the beam of light from a turning lighthouse. This "pulsing" appearance gives some neutron stars the name pulsars.
