Scientific paper
Different types of variable stars are discussed along with their interiors and life cycles as revealed by the variability. Attention is given to flare stars whose magnetic fields erupt in a flare 100 times as bright as the sun, and Mira stars which appear over 100 times brighter at their brightest than at minimum and are smallest when brightest. Also considered are the R Coronae Borealis stars which are rich in carbon at the surface, and Cepheids whose period is strictly related to its average brightness and whose variation in brightness is an effect of temperature change.
