What are stars made of?

Stars aren't just big lightbulbs; they're giant, buzzin' balls of super-hot gas! Look at my fuzzy Outer Shell; it’s like a glowin' blanket of hot gas that keeps everythin' inside super-duper warm. See those little blue atoms? That's Hydrogen! It's my favorite star-food, and I have tons of it floatin' around inside me. Deep, deep down is The Core—the 'hot squeezer.' It’s so crowded and squishy in there that it crushes my star-food together with TONS of pressure! When that Hydrogen gets squished, it turns into somethin' brand new called Helium. It’s like magic—crushin' gas together makes a whole different gas! All that squishin' makes a HUGE explosion of energy that zooms away as Starlight. That's the part you see twinklin' in the night sky! Tiny Concepts.
