Universe could contain up to one septillion stars. Stars form in molecular clouds 1,000-10 million times Sun's mass. Molecular clouds collapse, creating protostars
The sun is a star located 150 million kilometers from Earth. It is 700,000 kilometers in radius and 333,000 times Earth's mass. The sun is composed of plasma, with 74% hydrogen and 24% helium
TFTR was built at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in 1980-1982. Designed with goal of reaching scientific breakeven in fusion reactions. World's first magnetic fusion device with 50/50 deuterium/tritium fuel. Had plasma diameter of 86 inches, double size of other tokamaks
The core extends from the center to 0.2 of the solar radius. It reaches temperatures of 15 million kelvins and densities of 150,000 kg/m³. The core contains 34% of the Sun's mass but only 3% of its volume. It generates 99% of the Sun's fusion power
