A low mass main sequence star, like our Sun, will eventually exhaust its hydrogen fuel in the core, leading to its transformation into a red giant. During this phase, it will undergo helium fusion in the core and expand significantly. Eventually, the outer layers will be shed, creating a planetary nebula, while the core will contract to form a white dwarf. This white dwarf will gradually cool and fade over billions of years.
