Imaginary Planet: Biography of your Star

You will tell all about your star: give it a name, tell what type of star it is, its color, its diameter in kilometers, its surface temperature, its age, its life expectancy (how much longer it will live?), how it will die, when it will go through a major change. You can write this as if it is a biography and describe the birth of your star as well.
