เส้นเวลากราฟิกของยุคแห่งดวงดาว

นี่คือเส้นเวลาของยุคแห่งดวงดาว (Stelliferous Era) นอกจากนี้ยังแสดงบางส่วนของยุคแรกเริ่ม (primordial era) และยุคเสื่อม (degenerate era) ก่อนที่จะไปถึงฮีทเดธ (Heat Death) อีกด้วย

สเกลที่ใช้คือ $10\times {\log }_{10}\mathrm{y}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{r}$ ตัวอย่างเช่น 1 ล้านปี คือ $10\times {\log }_{10}1000000=10\times 6=60$
