You're just summarizing what you have read from the books and observed. It's better if you just damn tell what you have in knowledge that you thought of on your own.

Pretty close, Sttevann. A star larger than about 5 solr masses will end as a nova when it's fuel runs out. Left in the center is a neutron star. An neutron star is a pulsar when it rapidly rotates. The sun will first expand as a red giant, then slowly shrink into a white dwarf. It will slowly cool until it emits no light thereafter.

This picture is an animation, created on a computer. It is a simulation of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A.
