   The Story of Three Stars   
   10 Jan 24 10:13:05   
   
   From: andronicus451@gmail.com   
      
   I went down a spiral cloud of the galaxy and there were three stars.   
      
   I've noticed that they are approaching fast the Chandrasekhar limit of   
   permissible mass for a star.   
      
   I came to the first star and told her: "Look, you are accumulating weight   
   too fast! It will be ill for you!"   
      
   And the little star, worried, started sharing a part of her mass every now   
   and then, in the coronary mass ejections. The star's mass and size became   
   stable.   
      
   Then I came to the second star and said: "Look, you are accumulating   
   too much mass! Ir will be ill for you!"   
      
   The larger star looked at me with disdain, and continued gathering   
   more and more mass from her accretion disk. But as the time came,   
   the star remembered my word and she underwent a huge supernova   
   explosion. On time, but the cost was that only a pulsar was left,   
   much smaller than the first star and giving every other star a signal   
   of warning.   
      
   But the third star looked at me with disdain: "Who do you think you   
   are, you star-wizard? Are your cheap tricks gonna hurt my position as   
   the brightest star in the galaxy?"   
      
   I went saddened, because the star was really mighty and continued   
   gathering the remaining stellar dust. Nothing could develop in her vicinity,   
   not even the dwarf stars.   
      
   Then one day, the star felt the weight of its own mass suffering gravitational   
   collapse. She said: "Oh, I will make some coronary mass ejections   
   like the little star!"   
      
   But every coronary mass ejection underwent the gravitational collapse, too.   
   Nothing could escape the gravity of the accumulated mass, and all that   
   tasty interstellar dust now became a deadly, choking trap.   
      
   Now the star thought: "I will go through a supernova explosion, just like   
   the second star!"   
      
   She tried, exploded with great power, but even the light could no longer   
   escape certain evet horizon. Her great mass collapsed into a very small   
   sphere, and now she could not stop devouring the interstellar dust and   
   even smaller asteroids and stars though it made her only worse - but   
   she was completely dark, save from some light from the accretion disks   
   that was not hers.   
      
   It is believed that she remained in the state of black hole, with no   
   single particle or wave of light departing from her, until the end of   
   the Universe.   
      
   This was the story of the three stars.
