Post–Main-Sequence Evolution

Description
Post–Main-Sequence Evolution
(a) The luminosity of the Sun changes as our star evolves. It began as a protostar with decreasing luminosity. On the main sequence
today, it gradually brightens. Giant-phase evolution occurs more rapidly, with faster and larger changes of luminosity. Note the
change in scale of the horizontal axis scale at 12 billion years.
