“Hydrogen, Helium, and the Stars of M10” is copyrighted by Till Credner, Sven Kohle (Bonn University), Hoher List Observatory. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe bright reddish-orange stars in this image of the globular cluster M10 are red giants. These are stars that have exhausted the hydrogen fuel in their cores and are now burning hydrogen in a shell around the core, causing them to expand. Stars like our Sun will eventually reach this phase of stellar evolution.
