Question 10
Quasars are extremely luminous objects. They are powered by accretion disks around supermassive black holes. Among cosmic light - emitting sources, quasars are the brightest.
A star like the Sun forms from a nebula (a cloud of gas and dust). The nebula collapses to form a protostar. Then it becomes a main - sequence star (where it spends most of its life). As it ages, it expands into a red giant. Finally, it sheds its outer layers and leaves behind a white dwarf.
It is estimated that about two - thirds of the stars are binary stars. This is based on astronomical observations and studies of stellar populations.
