Nestled at the edge of the arid Great Basin and the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains in California, Mono Lake is an ancient saline lake that covers over 70 square miles and supports a unique and productive ecosystem. The lake has no fish; instead it is home to trillions of brine shrimp and alkali flies. Freshwater streams feed Mono Lake, supporting lush riparian forests of cottonwood and willow along their banks. Along the lakeshore, scenic limestone formations known as tufa towers rise from the water's surface. Millions of migratory birds visit the lake each year.
From 1941 until 1990, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) diverted excessive amounts of water from Mono Basin streams. Mono Lake dropped 45 vertical feet, lost half its volume, and doubled in salinity.
The Mono Lake Committee, founded in 1978, led the fight to save the lake with cooperative solutions. We continue our protection, restoration, and education efforts today with the support of 16,000 members --and we host this Website.
In 1994, after over a decade of litigation, the California State Water Resources Control Board ordered DWP to allow Mono Lake to rise to a healthy level of 6,392 feet above sea level--twenty feet above its historic low. It is rising toward that goal -- click here for the current lake level, or visit one of the other links on this page for more of the Mono Lake story.

Explanation:
Your wording is a bit confusing, but I get what you're trying to say.
Here's what the life cycle of a star looks like.
Stars begin as giant balls of hydrogen colliding together and releasing a ton of energy. This hydrogen will eventually fuse together to form helium, and once all of the hydrogen has become helium, This helium will, after a very long time and under lots and lots of pressure, form carbon. When this happens, it is considered a red giant, and the star becomes bigger and less bright. The star will become less and less bright and eventually start to shrink as all of that carbon turns to heavier elements like iron, turning into a dwarf star that eventually dies out.
(Dwarf stars are still shining are called white dwarf stars, and dead ones are black)
The cool part, though, is that massive stars (those which have a mass of at least 3 times the Sun's) turn into heavy elements so fast that the core collapses almost instantaneously and explodes violently into a ball of fire known as a supernova.
Sometimes the core of the star gets left behind, and either forms a neutron star or, if it has the mass of a massive star, will collapse in on itself and become a black hole.
