DK Smithsonian UNIVERSE Definitive Visual Guide. Stellar Life. As human beings go through cyclic lives, maturing from birth to maturity to old age, stars also follow a series of stages from their creation until death. Stars follow varying sequences of change depending greatly on their solar mass, or their gravitational weight . Frederick Seward. ABSTRACT.
