Stage in a star's evolution formed as the core of a main sequence star uses up its helium and the outer layers escape into space

The stars when they release their helium and get rid of their cape and throw it into space is because it is already the end of their life

Explanation:

During a portion of its life, a bright star due to the thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen in helium in its nucleus, which releases energy that crosses the interior of the star and then radiates into outer space. When the hydrogen in the nucleus of a star is almost depleted, almost all heavier elements than naturally produced helium are created by stellar nucleosynthesis during the life of the star and, in some stars, by nucleosynthesis of supernovae when explode At the end of its life, a star can also contain degenerate matter
