Question
What's up with your Registry?
Answer
We have decided to include the different parts of our honeymoon trip as cash-funds. We are leaving for Kauai the Monday after our Wedding, and spending 5 nights, 6 days there! Any amount of generosity is greatly appreciated, but not expected. Zola collects a 2.5% fee on cash fund gifts, so if you would like to give in other ways that is fine too!
Question
How many stars are born and die each day?
Answer
In typical galaxies like the Milky Way, a massive star should end its life as a supernova about every 100 years. Less massive stars (like the Sun) end their lives as planetary nebulae, leading to the formation of white dwarfs. There are about one of these per year. Therefore we get on average about one new star per year, and one star dying each year as a planetary nebula in the Milky Way. These rates are different in different types of galaxies, but you can say that this is roughly the average over all galaxies in the Universe. We estimate at about 100 billion the number of galaxies in the observable Universe, therefore there are about 100 billion stars being born and dying each year, which corresponds to about 275 million per day, in the whole observable Universe. -Amelie Saintonge for Ask an Astronomer
