The life of a high mass star goes like this:
A nebula gets hot and nuclear fusion binds it into a high-mass protostar
the protostar ages into high-mass, very hot star
that hot star explodes into a supergiant, which proceeds to explode into a supernova
the supernova then shrinks into a neutron star or a black hole
the life of a low- or medium-mass star goes like this:
a nebula gets hot and nuclear fusion binds it into a low-mass protostar
the protostar ages into a low- or medium- mass,cool star
the star explodes into a red giant, the red giant explodes into a planetary nebula
the nebula shrinks into a white dwarf, which then dims into a black dwarf
i hope i was able to answer your question.
