3. H-R Song - The following is a (crap) poem written by me on the Hersprung Russell diagram. For those who don't know what H-R diagram, it is a diagram made by Hertsprung and Russell which classifies stars according to their luminosity, absolute magnitude and spectral class. It tells us where stars are placed during various stages of evolution.

H-R diagram


Stars, Stars everywhere

White dwarfs and black dwarfs on the left

Giants and monters on the right

Stars, stars everywhere

Going up the wavy life

with changing brightness

I notice that my brothers and sisters are now grown up

into giants and are glowing with pride

I wish I become a giant soon

then I see my big brother suddenly on the left

and I am surprised to find that he is all black

..................and shrunk

I am shocked but happy that it will be...............

millions of years before I turn into a giant.

Stars, stars everywhere........
