Star Lifecycle 3D Explorer Step by Step
The Star Lifecycle 3D Explorer starts as soon as the page loads: drag to orbit the timeline, scroll or pinch to zoom, and press Play timeline to advance stages. Everything renders on your own device - no install, no account.
Step 1 - wait for the scene
Wait until the status line under the canvas invites you to scrub the timeline. The facts panel opens on main sequence with the published figures table.
Step 2 - pick a mass track
Leave Solar mass selected for the white-dwarf ending, or click Massive star to reveal Supernova and Remnant buttons for the 8 solar mass branch.
Step 3 - scrub or play
Drag the timeline slider from 0 to 100 percent or press Play timeline. Click Nebula, Main sequence, or Giant to jump directly while fullscreen keeps controls visible.
