This image tracks the life of a Sun-like star, from its birth on the left side of the frame to its evolution into a red giant star on the right. On the left the star is seen as a protostar, embedded within a dusty disc of material as it forms. It later becomes a star like our Sun. Eventually, it'll enter a helium-burning phase, expand, and turn red. Our Sun has no binary companion, so likely will not rotate rapidly and produce sunspots anymore. Image Credit: By ESO/M.
