 Star - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stars spend about 90% of their lifetime fusing hydrogen to produce helium in high-temperature and high-pressure reactions near the core.
Star formation begins with gravitational instability inside those clouds, often triggered by shockwaves from supernovae or the collision of two galaxies (as in a starburst galaxy).
The energy produced by stars radiates into space as electromagnetic radiation, as a stream of neutrinos from the star's core, and as a stream of particles from the star's outer layers (its stellar wind).

In one each star is given a score depending on the number of peries it owns, the number of "arms" it has and whether or not it uses the bridge.
a method in which the score for a star is just the number of peries it owns, but a player is given a "reward" which is twice the difference in the number of stars the two players have (negative for one player and positive for the other).
