Compare the life-cycles, from birth to death, of low-mass stars and high-mass stars (low-mass stars have masses comparable to the Sun's mass, while high-mass stars typically have masses a dozen times the Sun's mass). What are the eventual fates of low-mass and high-mass stars, and what stages do they go through? Identify at least two stage that low-mass and high-mass stars have in common, one stage which only low-mass stars have, and one stage which only high-mass stars have.
