What is the new evidence that has changed our understanding of stars?

Almost everything we know today about the stars and their life cycle is a direct result of the correct interpretation of our main source of evidence on the stars (their spectra) by a graduate student of very Young appointed Cecilia Payne.
Before its discovery in 1925 astronomers thought all the stars were made on exactly the same elements as the earth, in the same proportions as their spectra appear to show that(spectra also show that, of course).
Now, with Cecilia, we know that the differences are due simply to different amounts of ionization of hydrogen and NOT to the various elements.
Since the hydrogen atom is the only simple enough to do what we do out in the way they do it all started to fall in place and we jumped light years ahead in our understanding

Do New stars form from the material of old stars.?
From the material of old stars.
Do stars shine forever?
there are new ones every day being born..others are fizzling out.its an ongoing process that i think,will continue on and on.. No...altho the light you see will last for hundreds of years after the star is gone...nothing keeps it's form forever....

Why has our idea of what the atom looks like changed so many times?
Our idea of the atom has changed over time as new experimental evidence and theoretical advances have been made. Early models were based on limited information and as technology improved, we discovered more about the structure of the atom. Each new model built upon the shortcomings of the previous one, leading to our current understanding based on quantum mechanics.
