    traditional "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to contemporary songs like "Hollow Life" by Korn. And aside from music that has shown reverence for the awesome sense of space, and mans place  in the universe, all too often, people think of the heavens as something separate and apart from astronomy. Still, the concept of the stars cannot help but touch on mysteries  of time and space and philosophy. While that may be the case, astronomy is a science and when looking at the facts about stellar evolution, one will see that while  this aspect of science is grounded, there are elements that are also philosophically interesting. The balls of stars, going back seemingly forever in history, are known as globular  clusters and are popular in that they allow astronomers to test ideas of stellar evolutioni . Born during the dark ages prior to even the sun in Earths solar system,  globular clusters have many ancient, heavy stars which are concentrated at their coresii . The central regions are rich with stars and near collisions are prominentiii . Heavy stars  often grab companions to create binary star systems, something that reveals important information regarding the history and destiny of the clusteriv . Stellar Evolution is actually something that is  driven completely by the conflict between pressure and gravity v . As an imbalance appears, the star is then driven to look for a new Energy sourcevi . Each  stage in the process is marked by a different energy generation mechanismvii . The first stage is the Structure of a Main Sequence Star where a main  sequence star begins with a simple structureviii . Pressure, along with gravitational forces, are equivalent; the star is stable and so its core would be sufficiently warm to fuse the
