To appear as a featured performer or headliner, especially in an entertainment program
A luminous celestial body, made up of plasma (particularly hydrogen and helium) and having a spherical shape. Depending on context the sun may or may not be included
A concave polygon with regular, pointy protrusions and indentations, generally with five or six points
A luminous celestial body, made up of plasma (particularly hydrogen and helium), forming a sphere. Thousands of stars are visible in the night sky. Depending on context the sun may or may not be included
Student Technology Assistance Resource Program Basically the STAR Program is an interest free loan through the university to help undergraduate students purchase the computer they need for their academic career at CWRU
A coil connection scheme for 3 phase alternators and generators in which all 3 coil phases are connected in parallel--they all share a common connection
A self-luminous object that shines through the release of energy produced by nuclear reactions at its core
Most of the objects you see in the night sky are stars, and they come in many different varieties Stars usually emit light (like the Sun), but this is not true for all stars Some are as small as the Earth and others are bigger than the Earth's orbit around the Sun Even though you cannot see the stars during the daytime, they are still present The intense light coming from the Sun simply overwhelms the dim light coming from the star
A self-luminous gaseous body that typically generates energy by nuclear reactions in its interior Note that white dwarfs and neutron stars that no longer possess nuclear reactions, but shine by radiating stored-up heat that originally was derived from nuclear reactions, are also referred to as stars
Two couples, four ladies or four gents take R or L hands in the centre and dance around the set in 8 bars, or around in 4 bars and back in 4 bars
Predictions about people's lives which are based on astrology and appear regularly in a newspaper or magazine are sometimes referred to as the stars. There was nothing in my stars to say I'd have travel problems! = horoscope. Any massive celestial body of gas that shines by radiant energy generated inside it. The Milky Way Galaxy contains hundreds of billions of stars; only a very small fraction are visible to the unaided eye. The closest star is about 4.2 light-years from the Sun; the most distant are in galaxies billions of light-years away. Single stars such as the Sun are the minority; most stars occur in pairs, multiple systems, or clusters (see binary star; globular cluster; open cluster). Constellations consist not of such groupings but of stars in the same direction as seen from Earth. Stars vary greatly in brightness (magnitude), colour, temperature, mass, size, chemical composition, and age. In nearly all, hydrogen is the most abundant element. Stars are classified by their spectra (see spectrum), from blue-white to red, as O, B, A, F, G, K, or M; the Sun is a spectral type G s(Tarih) Generalizations on the nature and evolution of stars can be made from correlations between certain properties and from statistical results (see Hertzsprung-Russell diagram). A star forms when a portion of a dense interstellar cloud of hydrogen and dust grains collapses from its own gravity. As the cloud condenses, its density and internal temperature increase until it is hot enough to trigger nuclear fusion in its core (if not, it becomes a brown dwarf). After hydrogen is exhausted in the core from nuclear burning, the core shrinks and heats up while the star's outer layers expand significantly and cool, and the star becomes a red giant. The final stages of a star's evolution, when it no longer produces enough energy to counteract its own gravity, depend largely on its mass and whether it is a component of a close binary system (see black hole; neutron star; nova; pulsar; supernova; white dwarf star). Some stars other than the Sun are known to have one or more planets (see planets of other stars).

A network configuration (topology) in which all computers and devices are connected by direct cables to a central hub
A person of brilliant and attractive qualities, especially on public occasions, as a distinguished orator, a leading theatrical performer, etc
A ball of mostly hydrogen and helium gas that shines extremely brightly Our Sun is a star A star is so massive that its core is extremely dense and hot At the high stellar core temperatures, atoms move so fast that they sometimes stick to other atoms when they collide with them, forming more massive atoms and releasing a great amount of energy This process is known as nuclear fusion Scientists have not yet been able to use nuclear fusion as a power source here on earth, but they are trying!
