Every stars come to life in interstellar clouds, but their evolution will depend on their mass; from top to bottom:
-A brown dwarf
-A red dwarf, a small star which will slowly collapse to become a white dwarf then a black dwarf.
-A Sun-like star will become a red giant then a planetary nebula, a white dwarf and will end as a black dwarf.
-A blue giant star will become a red supergiant, then will explode in a supernova to end as a black hole or a neutron star.
