The Life Cycles of Stars In the universe‚ there are hundreds of billions of stars. They are formed when gas and dust from space "clump" together. As the mass grows larger‚ gravity takes over and a core begins to form. The core becomes extremely dense and this compaction causes temperatures within it to rise to the point where nuclear fusion (the burning of hydrogen in a chain reaction) can begin. The heat generated by fusion can reach 24 million degrees F (Fahrenheit). "That amount of heat keeps

Strolling along the boardwalk of The Six Mile Cypress Slough was a memorable experience. This secluded area creates a better view of wild life.

The Name Brayton comes from the American inventor George Brayton and Otto comes from German engineer Nikolaus Otto. Both these men changed the world and how we live life now a day.
