      You’re right that we already know some things about the life cycle of stars, but there’s still lots of things we don’t know! For example we know that stars form out of giant gas clouds in space, but we don’t know whether really big stars form in the same way or not because they’re very rare and hard to observe. There are always small details of any theory that we don’t fully understand yet and my job is to work out those small details so that the theory is complete.
