During this so-called pre–main-sequence phase, the star is larger and therefore brighter than it will be when it is more mature. The star slowly shrinks and fades until it reaches the main sequence, the stage when nuclear reactions at the stellar core convert protons into helium and supply the star with all of its energy. Earth’s sun shone for 50 million years as a pre–main-sequence star. EQ Pegasi consists of two red dwarfs, stars that are much cooler, fainter and smaller than the sun. Such stars outnumber all other stellar types put together but are so dim that not a single one is visible to the naked eye.#ACA"
