Although there are billions of them out in the universe they only consist of about three percent of the total amount of stars in the universe. High mass stars and low mass stars share a lot of similarities in the beginning of their life including how they are formed. High mass stars go through their life cycle much faster than low mass stars. What ultimately separates the two is the way they end their life cycles. High mass stars often go out with a bang, creating a supernova that could potentially create a black hole. Sometimes instead the explosion will create a neutron
