The outer layers begin to expand, cool and shine less brightly. The expanding star is now called a Red Giant. The star expands to a Red Giant, below. Stage 8 - The helium core runs out, and the outer layers drift of away from the core as a gaseous shell, this gas that surrounds the core is called a Planetary Nebula.A Planetary Nebula.

The most obvious explanation is that the universe itself is expanding. Since the universe is expanding, it makes sense that the objects within an expanding universe may expand with it. Since galaxies are embedded in the fabric of the universe, they too tend to move in motions of general expansion (moving away. Expanding Universe. from each other). Energy, gravity, and all of these factors come into play with the rate of expansion, potential for collisions, and so forth.
